About us:
Big Brothers Big
Sisters of El Dorado County is a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization, chartered
in 1977. We are an affiliate of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and
governed by a local volunteer Board of Directors. During the past 30+ years
we have provided positive role models for thousands of at-risk youth, ages 6
to 16. Through these one-to-one mentoring relationships, youth are given
support and opportunities that help them grow into confident, competent and
caring adults.
We serve the western
slope of El Dorado County, including the communities of Camino, Pollock
Pines, Diamond Springs, Placerville, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, Rescue
and El Dorado Hills.
We have two programs: 1) our
traditional community-based program in which we match positive adult role
models with at-risk youth and 2) our school-based program in which we match
one-to-one mentors with students struggling socially or academically.
