About Us

About Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central PiedmontBig Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Piedmont is an affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Our agency was chartered in 1979 to serve youth from the Greater High Point Community. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides children with a positive role model, giving them a new perspective on life and helping them learn how to make good choices.

Little Moments....Big Magic, is what Big Brothers Big Sisters is all about. It’s about doing the small important things like spending quality one-on-one time with a child, talking, studying, going shopping or to the movies, and providing that child with a person they can trust, look forward to seeing each week, and who they know is there for them no matter what, that leads to changes in major areas. Major areas include improved grades and behavior, a sense of the future, a positive healthy outlook on life. By providing those Little Moments, you are making a Big difference in a child’s life.

We know this because each year we conduct a program evaluation where we ask parents and teachers to give us feedback on the changes in the youth we are serving. During the 2008-2009 school year, according to teachers surveys returned, 72% of our youth made a C or better on their year end report cards. Once a child was matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister, 63% improved in at least 2 or more subjects within the first 3 months. Confidence, Competence, and Caring are the other areas we focus on. According to teachers 68% of those youth improved in Confidence, 63% in Competence, and 66% in Caring. Little Moments....Big Magic!!!
