Locally
Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Johns County has served our community since 1994. There are two ways that we serve children: through our community-based program that matches adults with children ages 6-12 who spend time out in the world and through our school-based program that matches volunteers with children in 2nd through 5th grade who spend time playing and working on improving academics at local elementary schools. We are growing and expanding our services. Visit our website periodically to learn about new opportunities to Start Something BIG!
An important component of Big Brothers Big Sisters is professional match support services. Our Match Support Specialists personally walk volunteers through the process from inquiry to enrollment and throughout the life of a match. We provide our Bigs with professional training, 24-hour emergency support and volunteer recognition.

Nationally

Most children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters are in single-parent and low-income families or households where a parent is incarcerated.
