Since early 1980s, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Juan County has been creating magic in people's lives. BBBS works to help boys and girls achieve their potential through positive adult relationships. A volunteer does not need any special skills to be a Big Brother or Big Sister. They only need to be interested in sharing special moments with a child. Just by sharing experiences, celebrating accomplishments, and listening to a child's concerns, a Big Brother or Big Sister can make a difference to a child.

The Difference We Make
Local statistic coming out of the School Based Mentoring Program show that when interviewed teachers observed that children in their class who were matched with Big Brother or Big Sister had:
Additionally, there is new information coming out of our national office that indicates that matching only two children in every classroom not only affects the children who are matched, but it improves the environment of the entire classroom. Because these children are better able to focus and are generally less disruptive, the teachers are better able to administer their lesson plan. This in turn helps other children focus better and results in an improved learning environment.
