Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Illinois

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Illinois Non profit youth mentoring agency serving Champaign, DeWitt, Ford, Iroquois, Livingston, Macon, Morgan, Piatt, Sangamon, and Vermilion counties.

For some children, it’s harder than most. Single-parent homes, neighborhoods with gangs and crime, absent parents, poor role models, and poverty can lead a child to despair, lack of self-worth, and ultimately poor choices.

On this D-Day, we pause to remember the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the Allied forces who landed in Normandy 82 years ago. Their bravery shaped history and reminds us that acts of service can create lasting impact for generations to come.

Today, we honor their legacy and give thanks for the freedoms they helped secure.

Help us welcome our newest match! 🌟

Big Brother Owen and Little Brother Donald are officially paired up and ready to take on the summer!

Donald and Owen both share a love for the outdoors, so they are already looking forward to fishing, playing sports, and maybe even learning pickleball together!

Thank you, Owen, for being BIG and becoming a mentor, guide, and friend. Join us in wishing this fantastic new duo an amazing summer!

Our Champaign area matches had a beautiful night at Burwash Park for our annual picnic! Together, they enjoyed dinner, celebrated the end of the school year, and honored two fantastic graduating seniors! 🎉

🎓 Little Brother Kenyada has been matched with his Big Brother Zach since 2019. Kenyada is proudly attending Hartnell College in California this fall, where he will also be furthering his football career!

🎓 Little Sister Brooke has been matched with Big Sister Presley since 2021. Brooke is already crushing it in the workforce full-time, has earned a promotion, and is excited to attend Parkland College to pursue her interests in business and psychology!

The friendship, guidance, and support provided by their mentors have helped Brooke and Kenyada develop the confidence, resiliency, and independence they need to thrive in their next chapter. We are so incredibly proud of them! 💚🖤

👏 A BIG thank you to Neil St. Blues for providing the delicious fried chicken for our event!

A strong mentoring relationship can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. When youth have access to a safe, welcoming space and someone who believes in them, they begin to feel that they truly belong. That sense of belonging unlocks confidence, resilience, and opportunity. This , we're celebrating the
strength and spark that lives in every youngperson.

Growing community and spreading joy! 🧑‍🌾✨

Our matches celebrated Mother’s Day by partnering with Primrose Retirement Community of Decatur to build and plant raised garden beds, and hand-deliver flowers to some very special residents! 💐

By introducing them to an experience like this, our Bigs are leading by example and teaching their Littles the true value of community service. We are incredibly proud of our matches for giving back in a BIG way!
