Big Accomplishment.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) named BBBSCO a Pinnacle Award Winner! Out of 225 agencies across the country, we were one of 8 organizations to receive this top honor for excellence in our signature 1-to-1 youth mentoring program.

This award recognizes the top agencies for increasing revenue and growing their overall number of mentors (“Bigs”) and youth (“Littles”) who are matched through the program, year over year, for two or more consecutive years.

“Awards like this are never a singular accomplishment. This is not just a Big Brothers Big Sisters achievement. It signals growth for our entire community,” said Jenn Davis, Program Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon. “We strive every day to support local youth through mentorship. It is truly a testament to the hard work done by our program staff.”

For over 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been dedicated to creating and supporting one-to-one mentoring relationships to help build self-confidence and emotional well-being, and empower young people on a path to graduate with a plan for their futures and a mentor whose impact can last a lifetime.

“We are extremely proud to honor Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon this year. Their innovative efforts and actions are leading the way in which our Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies empower young people across the country,” said BBBSA President and CEO, Artis Stevens. “We congratulate and thank these agencies for the outstanding work they do every day to support the life-changing mentorship matches they form and facilitate.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon was formally recognized as a Pinnacle Award Winner at the 2023 Big Brothers Big Sisters “Bigger Together” National Conference, held in June in California.
