Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint has been serving Genesee County youth for nearly 70 years. Locally, the Big Brother concept began to develop in the 1930s through the efforts of Frank Manley, well-known as the originator of the concept of Community Education. In 2004, a Mentoring Children of Prisoners Program (AMACHI) was funded by the Department of Health and Human Services. In 2010, the agency purchased the Agency Information Management (AIM) database. The Office of Juvenile Justice provided pass-through funding from BBBSA to provide services to high risk youth. Big Brothers Big Sisters will celebrate 70 years in 2014.

Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one to one relationships that changes their lives for the better, forever. Our vision is that all children achieve success in life.
