About US
Matching dedicated volunteers with deserving children is what we do best. As a volunteer, you have an opportunity – not only to impact a child’s life today, but to transform their potential for tomorrow.
By matching a volunteer with a child in need, we not only give that child hope for his or her future, but we create a culture of giving back to the community. Through the efforts of our volunteers, we change lives…for the better!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Virginia
OUR MISSION
Provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring professionally supported one to one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Imagine the change if every child who needed a mentor found one: more graduates, more leaders, and a community transformed by opportunity. Together, we can make that vision real — because when we invest in one child, we uplift us all.
