Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, founded in 1955. It provides long-term, one-to-one mentoring for children facing adversity, pairing each young person with a carefully screened adult volunteer mentor who receives professional support. Through these relationships, participants tend to improve in school, avoid risky behaviors, and develop higher self-esteem and aspirations. The organization serves children in the Greater Los Angeles area and operates with a small to mid-sized staff. Recent partnerships, such as a collaboration with Center Theatre Group to launch a new program, illustrate efforts to expand mentoring through strategic collaborations.
