Bridging the Gap

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing agencies in the BBBS network-and this year, we again took that growth to new heights. We increased the number of youth served by 39%, thanks to bold program expansion and the unwavering support of our community.

Our Level Up initiative -- an innovative model that embeds paid mentors full-time in middle schools -- now serves almost 1,500 students across six schools, with more on the way.

This momentum isn't just about numbers. It's about impact. A recent study from Harvard University and the U.S. Department of the Treasury revealed that mentored youth are 20% more likely to attend college and earn 15% more as young adults. Their income as adults aligns more closely with that of their mentors than their families- reducing the socioeconomic gap by two-thirds.

We invite you to explore our 2024 Impact Report to see how our organization, sponsors, and community partners are working together to help build a bold path to a big future for the kids of metro Atlanta.
