What people are saying about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska

From Bigs to Littles, and their families, too, everyone raves about the impact Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska has had on their life.

“We are just so grateful for this program. It has made our lives so much better, and our kids have learned so much from their Bigs!”

“I like my Big because he gets me out of the house and takes me out to explore. I don’t get to spend much time with guys, so having a pal to do fun activities with is a great feeling.”

“It’s time to remember what’s really important: the human connection. Just remember when you were young and who was there for you.”

ALASKA NATIVE YOUTH OUTREACH

There are currently 125 Alaska Native or American Indian children active in the program (many of whom are waiting for a match), and only 20 Alaska Native or American Indian adults. Of those 20, only 5 are men.
Many families are looking for positive male role models for their sons. This could be you!
