Together, we are changing what it means to grow up in America.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Kentucky has been impacting the lives of people in South Central Kentucky for 35 years. Both children and volunteers have experienced the power of one-to-one friendships which has led to a substantial difference in the outcome of many children's lives. Founed in October 1973 and originally part of Youth Bureau, Inc. BBBS of Bowling Green became Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Kentucky with the incorporation of the agency in Glasgow/Barren County in 1996. The agency then became a tri-county agency in the fall of 2002 when the program was started in Allen County.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a national mentoring agency that pairs volunteers one-to-one with children in our local area. Our matches participate in activities either at school or throughout the community. BBBS of South Central Kentucky is a private, non-profit organization with a portion of its funding coming from the United Way of Southern Kentucky and private donations. The remainder of funding is generated through other fundraising efforts such as Bowl For Kids' Sake and Spirits in the Cave.
Over 12 million children in the United States are growing up in single-parent families and an estimated 20% of them have no traditional family support system. Through aggressive efforts to serve this large population of children, BBBS has become the fastest growing youth-serving organization in the United States.
