Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters

Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters (KSBBBS) matches youth facing adversity with caring, adult mentors outside of their home. We believe that all youth - regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or family background - can achieve success in life, especially with the guidance and support of a caring adult mentor. These one-to-one professionally-supported friendships last a minimum of one year. However, the effects of these friendships last a lifetime. ​Mission: Create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Vision: that all youth achieve success in life. Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters is the second-largest one-to-one mentoring agency in the nation, and has received national acclaim from Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Forbes and USA Today for our quality mentoring and innovative approach to non-profit management.
