About

Serving our community since 1980, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Illinois (BBBSIL) is the premier nonprofit mentoring organization in Southwestern Illinois.

We champion hope, transformation, and social good, defending the potential of children who most need it.

BBBSIL develops future leaders, strengthens families, and builds community. We:

  • Match at-risk youth (Littles) with professionally supported adult mentors (Bigs)
  • Develop mentorship programs with evidence-based models known to have a lasting impact on children’s lives
  • Are the only mentorship program in the country recommended by the CDC to prevent adverse childhood experiences and trauma
  • Are recognized by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) as a proven prevention strategy
  • Driven to make Southwestern Illinois a safe haven where children can grow and thrive, we have developed a network of strategic partnerships with local businesses and community organizations.
  • We know that together we can do big things
