Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater New Orleans

A nonprofit organization

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater New Orleans, we believe every young person deserves access to opportunity — and that starts with a meaningful relationship.

We match young people (“Littles”) with caring adult mentors (“Bigs”) in one-to-one and small-group mentoring relationships that help them build confidence, develop critical life and workforce skills, and realize their full potential.

But mentorship is more than a meaningful connection — it is essential.

In a time when young people are experiencing increased isolation and disconnection, a consistent, caring adult can change the trajectory of a life. Through mentorship, young people are more likely to graduate, pursue higher education, and build pathways to economic mobility.

The impact extends far beyond the individual. Research shows that for every $1 invested in mentoring, communities see a return of nearly $3 through stronger schools, stronger workforces, and healthier communities.

Right now, too many young people in New Orleans are still waiting for a mentor.

Your support helps us close that gap — connecting young people to caring adults, expanding access to opportunity, and building a stronger future for our entire community.

Because when young people succeed, we all succeed.
