What is Big Sisters of Rhode Island?
Big Sisters of Rhode Island is a mentoring organization that serves girls ages 4 to 18 from across Rhode Island who are at highest risk for substance abuse, school failure, early parenting, and violence; those living in high-risk environments such as dangerous neighborhoods or isolated rural settings, or who come from families facing challenges such as major mental illness, life-threatening or chronic disease, poverty, addiction, and domestic violence. For over 40 years, we have been the only statewide mentoring organization with the specific mission to positively impact the lives of at-risk girls.
