2024 Bigs and Littles: Become A Mentor Today!
Bigs & Littles NYC is a nonprofit organization that has empowered NYC underserved communities and uplifted children and families of predominantly single-parent households across the city for over 120 years.
Our one-to-one mentoring program transforms the lives of young people, building hope and inspiring them to dream bigger, work harder to do well in school, and to plan for their future. Our volunteer mentors provide friendship, guidance, and support to a child aged 7-17 in NYC.
Our Bigs meet with their Littles to participate in fun community-based activities and explore NYC together.

- Commit to weekly phone-call with Little
