WHO ARE WE?
Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters was founded in
Prescott Arizona in 1971. The organization started with a staff of four Vista Volunteers and in its first year, matched 40 Bigs & Littles. Since that time, we have brought magic into the lives of over 6,000 children.
Today, Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters serves all of Yavapai County and Sedona with offices in Prescott, Cottonwood and Sedona. Last year alone, Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters served over 900 children, ranking our agency in the top
1% nationally for the number of children matched per capita.
Many of the children we work with are often more likely to experience trouble in school, develop drug abuse problems, and/or become delinquent. Many have been abused and more than 70% live at or below the poverty level.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters bring magic to these children's lives and change their lives forever.
Little Brothers and Sisters are:
-
46% less likely to initiate drug use
-
27% less likely to start drinking
-
53% less likely to skip school
-
33% less likely to have violent confrontations
Nobody else is doing the work that Big Brothers Big Sisters does in exactly the way we do it. It's amazing what a little
magic can do!
