Expanding our services to children and families of Door County in 2001, Big Brothers Big Sisters continues to grow and expand services to this natural resource and water rich region of Wisconsin.
In 2018, we served 131 children (83 female, 48 male) in Southern Door, Gibraltar, Sevastopol and Sturgeon Bay, with new services beginning to develop in Washington Island.
When compared with their peers, youth matched in our program experience:
84% improvement in socio-emotional competence
82% improvement in avoidance of risky behaviors
83% educational success
Fundraising activities and community engagement are lead by a nine-member Advisory Council of local community members.
