Become a Big Sister today! We have 500 girls waiting in Greater Boston, one is waiting for YOU!
When was the last time you jumped rope? Shared a secret? Giggled with a girlfriend? By becoming a Big Sister, you get to experience the fun and friendship you had when you were young, while making a profound difference in the life of a girl. By becoming a Big Sister, you can be the confidant and friend who encourages a girl to do more, try harder and become greater than she ever imagined. Big Sisters and Little Sisters have fun together - and create memories that last a lifetime.
Our Community-Based Mentoring Program is a one-on-one relationship between adult women with girls ages 7-15. Big and Little Sisters choose when, where and what they do to build a bond based on shared interests and experiences. Visits are weekly and last three to four hours; after you have been together for 3 months, you may meet twice per month. Once you’ve reached your 1 year anniversary, we will continue to encourage and support you and your Little Sister for the life of your match! We ask Big Sisters to commit to at least 12 months.

Busy on the weekends? Our School-Based Mentoringprogram creates a unique one-to-one mentoring relationship between a Big and Little Sister during the school day. Big and Little Sisters meet for 45-60 minutes during the Little Sister's lunch time or after school program. "Matches" do everything from read, color, play basketball, whatever they may be interested in together! You meet throughout the academic year, keep in touch via letters or e-mails over the summer months, and resume match meetings in September. There are school sites all over the Greater Boston area including Cambridge, Allston/Brighton, Charlestown, and Quincy.
