Description: Since 1982, Big Brothers Big Sisters have been changing the way children grow up in Santa Cruz County. By exposing children to new opportunities, volunteer mentors show that options exist, no matter how difficult the child's situation or life experience is currently. Big Brothers Big Sisters' services have been proven effective.
