What is a Little Brother or Sister?
A Little Brother or Sister is a child in our program between the age of 6 and 18 years old. Children come from diverse backgrounds in seven counties throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. Over 50 percent of Little Brothers and Sisters are African American, Native American or Latino. Ninety percent come from single-parent homes. Regardless of their background, all Little Brothers and Sisters have one thing in common: they can benefit from the positive presence of a volunteer Big Brother, Sister or Couple.
