Big Brothers Big Sisters stands as the largest mentoring network in the country, helping at-risk youth build confidence in themselves and establish healthy relationships. Volunteer mentors are paired with youths from the program, with the aim of establishing a rapport and becoming a trusted friend. The pairs enjoy outings and educational programs, such as a recent screening of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, coupled with a campaign to illuminate lessons from the film. The campaign, themed "Start something epic," aims to inspire audiences to volunteer as Big Brothers or Big Sisters.
