    Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint has made a difference in the lives of youth for 66 years. The research show that youth who have a mentor in their lives are less likely to become involved in negative behaviors. Our local agency has seen positive changes in youth who have been paired with caring community members and thanks all of our volunteers, partners and donors for making this happen.
