You`ve seen the hat, but do you know the impact?

We officially celebrated the conclusion of our 2026 Big Futures program! This experience is all about equipping our Littles with the confidence, clarity, and tools to navigate life after graduation.
From behind-the-scenes stadium hustle with the RenoAces to learning the realities of entrepreneurship with @ShortiesCandles, our youth proved that when you expand a perspective, you ignite potential.
Huge thanks to all the dedicated community partners, local leaders, and our hard-working BBBSNN staff who made this high-impact program a reality. The future of Northern Nevada is in very good hands.

It takes little to be BIG.
It starts by just showing up, hanging out, laughing, and sharing everyday moments right here in our community. But those small moments do something BIG in the long run.
Right now, there are Littles in our community waiting for someone just like you. By committing to become a Big, you provide the connection and belonging that empowers our youth to step into a BIG future. We’re looking for mentors (Bigs) to help us ignite the future of Northern Nevada. The investment is small, but the impact is lifelong.

Saying yes to being a Mentor doesn’t take as much time as you think. Just 4–6 hours a month can build a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
Being a Big isn’t about having extra time. It’s about choosing to spend a little of it in a way that creates a positive impact. 💚
