Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana

Book club! 📖✨

We recently kicked off our new collaborative Book Club Program with 100 Black Men of Indianapolis! These young people have been having a blast getting to know each other and their mentors, guessing what might come next in their book, and developing their love for reading.

Some colorful match fun from this month!🎨🍦🌈

To show off their creativity and celebrate Pride Month, a few of our matches recently joined us for a fun-filled canvas painting session.

Of course, there was also ice cream! Special shoutout to LiftOff Creamery for supplying our Bigs and Littles with this yummy treat!

A determined group of BBBSCI Big Sisters & Little Sisters had a blast canoeing down the White River with Camptown!🛶☀️💪

This 4-mile trek down the river and under multiple bridges was not only full of hard work, but also so much laughter and new memories! Thank you to Camptown for helping our matches have such a fun-filled day of outdoor adventures.🌳

Meet one of our newest matches, Little Brother Noah and Big Brother Wayne! 🏀🎻🌟

Noah, who shares interests in sports, video games, and movies with Wayne, hopes his Big can help him learn more about basketball and support him with subjects he struggles with! Noah also has musical interests in the violin and is looking forward to exploring that interest with Wayne.

Most of all, Little Brother Noah thinks the best part about having a Big will be having another person to talk to outside of his friends and his mother.

You can become a Big at bebigforkids.org/volunteer!

Bigs and Littles let their creativity shine at our recent match activity, Blooming Connections!🌷🎨✨

At this event, matches were able to paint a pre-planted flower pot that they were also able to bring home. Check out some of the masterpieces that they created!🖼️

A big thank you to Alicia Thomas, founder of Craft Connections, for providing the flower pots and helping to make this event special for our young people!

Recently, our team has made some pit-stops at Crew Carwash locations around Central Indiana to celebrate race season and gear up for Crew for Kids in July!🏁🫧🚗

A huge shoutout to Crew Carwash, and all of their amazing team members, for being a long standing partner of Big Brothers Big Sisters and uplifting young people in our community. 💚

Don't forget to mark your calendar to get an Ultimate Wash at this year's Crew for Kids event on Saturday, July 18 at ANY Crew Carwash location!

Happy Pride Month from BBBSCI!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

We believe every child deserves someone in their corner who sees their strength, hears their voice, and helps them grow. We stand with the LGBTQ+ community, working to expand access to mentorship for all youth.
