Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Gulf Coast is the leading one-to-one mentoring organization in south Alabama and Mississippi. Each year, we serve more than 600 children and positively impact over 1,800 individuals across seven counties.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. We match caring adult volunteers—our “Bigs”—with children ages 6 to 15—our “Littles”—who can benefit most from a consistent, positive role model. Every Big is carefully screened and trained to provide the guidance, encouragement, and accountability their Little needs to grow in confidence, make healthy choices, and reach their full potential.
BIG NEWS
We recently celebrated our incredible graduating seniors and their Bigs with a special dinner at Moe’s BBQ! We shared laughs, played games, and honored the bonds that have made a lasting impact. Each senior left with a kit full of essentials to support them in their next chapter.
We are so proud of all they’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see where their journeys take them next.
We were honored to be one of four local organizations recognized with a generous donation during a heartfelt ceremony filled with energy, gratitude, and community spirit. Even more special? The checks were presented by veteran Walmart associates who’ve been serving their community through Walmart for 24 to 34 years. Their dedication is inspiring, and we’re grateful to be part of a community that gives back in such meaningful ways.
Thank you, Walmart Supercenter Robertsdale and the Robertsdale team, for your continued support and for making a BIG impact!
Thanks to a national partnership, three of our Bigs and Littles took a special trip to the HeyDude and Crocs store in Foley, Alabama—and it was so much more than just shopping.
Each store manager - Sylver at Crocs, and Hallie at Hey Dude - welcomed us with open arms and gave us a behind-the-scenes look at both stores—from how the brand got started to what makes them such a fan favorite today.
Each match got to pick out their very own pair of HeyDudes and of Crocs, and the best part? They got to personalize them with fun Jibbitz charms that showed off their personalities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is proud to partner with Crocs Inc. on our shared goal to support young people to access mentorship, build skills, increase their confidence, and step up to their greatest potential.
We visited Jack's in Loxley to receive a generous donation from their December Round-Up Campaign! A huge thank you to Jack’s for supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters and investing in the potential of local youth.
Joining us for the check presentation were Big Sister Gail and Little Sister Brylei, who also happen to be frequent customers at this location. It was extra special to have them there, as their friendship is a perfect example of the impact mentorship can make!
We’re so grateful to our community partners like Jack’s who help make life-changing mentorships possible. Thank you for believing in the power of mentorship!
We’re honored that the City of Mobile has officially recognized January as National Mentoring Month! This proclamation celebrates the power of mentorship and the impact it has on young lives.
Pilar, our Big Futures Specialist, Aimee Risser, our President & CEO, and Michael, our 2025 Big of the Year—proudly accepted this recognition on behalf of all the mentors making a difference every day.
Mentoring changes lives, and together, we’re building a brighter future!
A huge thank you to the Senior Bowl players and Infirmary Health for making the day unforgettable!
Nearly 100 of our Littles had the opportunity to meet these incredible athletes, get autographs, and share laughs and fun moments in such a special setting.
The smiles, inspiration, and memories created today will stick with our Littles for years to come. We’re so grateful to the players for taking the time to give back to our community and to Mobile Infirmary for hosting us in their amazing space! Together, we’re making BIG things happen.
