The Mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County, MD, is to
provide positive role modeling and to enhance and encourage self-esteem
and growth of children and single-parent families so that together we
can improve the quality of life for the children, parents and
volunteers we serve, and for the community at large.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County has been serving children in our local community since 1956 by “matching” adult mentors in the community-based program with at-risk youth, based on a child’s specific needs and common interests. Through these one-to-one friendships, the program has helped hundreds of children increase their self-confidence, reach their full potential, and see themselves – often for the first time – as having happy and successful futures.
A school-based program serving students at Eastern Elementary School was started in 2002. Adult mentors meet with students referred by a classroom teacher for at least one hour in a school setting. They help the student with their school work, take time to talk with the child or make use of “school space”.
