Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston (Lone Star)

Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star is a Texas-wide nonprofit that runs one-to-one youth mentoring programs. Its Greater Houston chapter connects children (called 'Littles') with caring adult volunteer mentors (called 'Bigs') who meet with them two to four times a month. Mentoring can happen in the community, at school, or online. The goal is to help kids build confidence, do better in school, and develop skills they need to succeed in life. The Houston chapter serves thousands of young people across Harris, Fort Bend, and Brazoria Counties, and maintains a physical office and event space in Houston.
