Igniting the power and promise of youth through mentorship

For more than 60 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands (BBBSM) has been building bridges of hope across Omaha, Council Bluffs, and Lincoln. Every day, we match young people facing adversity with caring, committed mentors who open doors to brighter futures.

We currently support more than 1,200 youth each year — many from single-parent or low-income families — helping them gain the confidence, stability, and support every child deserves.

Our mentors do more than spend time with youth — they empower them to dream bigger, stay engaged in school, and make positive choices. With your support, we can reach even more young people who are still waiting for a mentor to believe in them.

Your donation helps us:
✨ Recruit and train new mentors for youth waiting to be matched
✨ Provide safe spaces for mentor-mentee connections and activities
✨ Deliver life-skills training, academic support, and workforce readiness
✨ Build a stronger, more connected community through the power of mentorship

When you give, you’re not just donating — you’re changing a life.

Join us in shaping a future where every child feels seen, supported, and unstoppable.
Together, we can ignite potential and transform the Midlands — one match at a time.
