Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska (BBBS) is a force for change. Inherit in every young person is immense potential.

The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Together, with Bigs, Littles, the families of young people, and our community, we defend that potential. Healthy relationships support resiliency, inspire, and empower. Since 1967, and as one of over 200 Big Brothers Big Sisters affilia

tes, we create matches that build powerful relationships. Youth in our community are waiting for Bigs to show up, join their community, expand their network, share in new experiences, and develop strong, committed one-to-one mentoring relationships. Bigs with a variety of life experiences, interests, and strengths are imperative to make quality matches. The benefits for Bigs endure in the same way they do for Littles. Big Brothers Big Sisters creates an environment of growth and adventure for both the Little AND the Big. Big Brothers Big Sisters is committed to providing for the safety of all youth through high quality support of all matches, ongoing and quality, and new and consistent opportunities for Bigs and Littles to build share experiences.

Heads up — our office will be closed June 14–19 while our team heads to Atlanta for the Big Brothers Big Sisters National Conference! 🌟 We're soaking up every session, connection, and idea we can find and bringing it all back home to Grand Island. Our matches and community deserve our best — and we're going to get it. 💚 We're bigger together!

Our Bigs and Littles showed OUT at the 2nd ever Nebraska Siege game! 🏈 Tristan and Dylan had the absolute honor of delivering the game ball — no big deal, just legends. The rest of the night? Controlled chaos, pretzels, hotdogs, and a halftime balancing act that had everyone's jaw on the floor. We love this community! 💚

What a day with our friends at Leadership Unlimited! 🎉 Turns out face painting is basically a superpower — the line never stopped and we loved every second of it. Christine, however, entered the foam and has not been located. If you see her, please advise. 🎨💚

You asked, we answered! 🌸 The May Monthly Match Challenge was all about celebrating spring — and our Bigs and Littles delivered!

From fishing to kite flying to catching a live game, check out some of the ways our matches soaked up the season. ✅🎣✅🪁✅⚾

Big shoutout to these matches for stepping outside their comfort zones and showing up for each other and their community. That's what being a Big is all about! 🙌

Stay tuned — June's challenge is already underway! 👀

We love trying new things — and the Monthly Match Challenge has quickly become one of our favorites! 🏆

Each month, our community-based matches get a list of fun challenges to complete for a chance to win a gift card. But honestly? The real win is Bigs discovering new things to do, Littles getting to know their community, and matches trying activities they'd never pick on their own — from pickleball to volunteering and everything in between. 🎾🙌

Help us celebrate our May winners — and stay tuned for June's challenge!

One year looks good on these two. 🎉💚

Big Brett and Landon have packed a lot into their first year — match outings, Tri-City Con, and one very memorable first deer hunt. (Spoiler: no deer. Still a great time.)

And somewhere along the way they also discovered that no amount of gift cards in the world will make Landon a lobster guy. Some things you just have to find out together.

Happy matchiversary, Brett and Landon! Here's to year two. 💚

Technically we don't start School Based matches this late in the year.

Technically.

This Little told us he'd rather meet his Big once before summer — just once — than never meet her at all. Next year they've got a full school year together, and something tells us he'll be counting down the days. We didn't have a great argument against that. Welcome to the match, you two! 💚

Thank you to CMBA Architects for sponsoring this match!

These are goodbyes — but the good kind. 💚

These School Based Bigs and Littles are wrapping up their matches, and there was some sadness, a whole lot of gratitude, and memories none of them will forget. Learning to say a meaningful goodbye is a real skill — and so is knowing how to build something worth saying goodbye to.

Our graduating Bigs are heading to college ready to do it all over again. We love that for them. 💚🎓

Officer Boone, reporting for duty. 🐾

Karson had one request — meet this guy. And School Based Big Bayli? She made it happen. (Yes, THAT Bayli — our Community Based Little turned Big! 💚) Officer Gildersleeve brought Boone out for some quality time, and we're pretty sure this is the best meeting any of us have had all year.

A Little who feels heard. A Big who shows up. That's the whole thing right there.
