Big Brothers Big Sisters of Worcester County, Inc.’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for children, primarily by matching children in professionally supported mentoring relationships, with responsible and caring volunteers.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Worcester County, Inc. offer two programs: Community Base Mentoring and School Base Mentoring. Each service offers children a special person in their life to be a friend, mentor and role model.

History:
In the early 1900s, Irving Westheimer, a Cincinnati businessman, and Colonel Ernest Coulter of New York, almost simultaneously become concerned about the welfare of boys from single-parent homes. The idea of Big Brothers originated. Mrs. Cernelius Vanderbilt of New York City started the Big Sister movement.
