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.
