Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County

What We Do

Provide youth with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. When children can envision a positive future for themselves, they work harder in school, set goals, and are more likely to avoid risky behaviors and feel better about themselves. Big Brothers Big Sisters wants all children to achieve their full potential.

Children between the ages of 6 to 13 at the time of enrollment for Site Based and Community Based programs; ages 14 and over for Big Futures. Children who benefit from support of a positive adult influence outside of their home.
