Big Brothers Big Sister of Butler County is launching an ambitious new campaign, "Erase the Wait," to recruit volunteers to be matched with the Butler County youth who are waiting to be paired with their Big Brother/Sister. With 139 youth currently waiting for a mentor, and more being referred to the program daily, BBBS of Butler County is challenging ourselves, and the community to sign up and serve as mentors to local youth.

 

BBBS is excited to announce a new national partnership with Crisis Text Line to help spread mental health awareness and support young people in their time of need. Crisis Text Line is a nonprofit organization that provides free, 24/7, confidential text-based mental health support in both English and Spanish.

Anyone seeking support can text Big Brothers Big Sisters' unique keyword BIG to 741741 to speak with a compassionate, trained Crisis Counselor. 

Since 1968, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County has provided professionally supported mentorships that ignite the power of our youth and help them achieve their potential. We are the local agency of the oldest, largest, and most successful mentoring organization in the nation. 

 

Research has shown that mentoring has a positive, life-changing impact for both the mentors and the mentees. We have seem this impact thousands of times right here in Butler County in our 56- year history.
