Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Dane County
For over 50 years locally, and more than 100 years nationally, we have been creating life-changing mentoring relationships for young people. Using proven, research-based methods, our team connects children ages 6-18 with caring, trusted adult mentors who meet their unique needs and help them unlock their full potential.
Through our community-based youth mentoring programs, we meet kids where they are today while equipping them with the skills, confidence, and resilience to thrive tomorrow. Supported by dedicated volunteers and strong
community partnerships, we proudly serve youth across Madison and Dane County.
