The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod and the Islands is to partner with under-resourced families to provide their children with transformational, one-to-one professionally-supported relationships with caring adult mentors, so that their children will thrive. We want youth to achieve their full potential, which only contributes to healthier families, better schools, brighter futures and stronger communities.
