Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County is a nonprofit organization that provides professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring to children and youth facing adversity. Based in Camarillo, California, it serves Ventura County and has helped more than 1,500 participants aged 6 through 21. National research associated with its mentoring model indicates that participants are 52% more likely to stay in school, 46% more likely to stay away from drugs, and 33% more likely to refrain from violence. The organization has operated as a leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century. It is the largest mentoring organization in Ventura County. A recent development noted in late 2025 is the launch of the '100 Big Brothers' volunteer recruitment campaign as part of the California Men's Service Challenge.
