Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands is dedicated to igniting the potential of youth across the Omaha and Lincoln areas in Nebraska, as well as Council Bluffs in Iowa. The organization offers two impactful mentoring programs designed to foster youth development. The MentorU Program partners with high schools in Omaha and Council Bluffs, including Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson, to support students enrolled in an enrichment course focused on boosting academic engagement and success. Most mentoring takes place online, with in-person visits once a month for dinner and interactive activities at the schools. Through these connections, mentors provide vital guidance and support, helping youth thrive academically, socially, and personally.
