Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Chesapeake

Bbbsgc is the oldest and largest mentoring organization in the state of Maryland with over 60 years of experience. We help children and youth reach their fullest potential by building safe and enduring mentoring relationships based on best practices, quality standards and professional support. We serve central Maryland, southern Maryland and the eastern shore. Our community mentoring program is the proven "gold standard" in youth mentoring for vulnerable children and youth. Mentors and mentees meet in the community 2-3 times a month for at least one year to build strong relationships. Bbbsgc case managers provide support, supervision, and guidance. We offer special community events for our mentor-mentee pairs that are donated by local companies and organizations. In addition, we provide school-based and workplace site programs. We also work with young people who have been involved with the juvenile justice system. Bbbsgc ceased operating the community mentoring program on june 30, 2017.

As a local affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of america, we also operate the Maryland mentoring resource center to provide training, technical assistance and resources to mentoring programs, mentors and other youth service professionals across the state.
