LGBTQ+ Mentoring Program

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward, we believe that every child benefits from having a positive role model—someone who encourages them, supports their goals, and helps them build confidence. BIGPride is our mentoring program designed to connect LGBTQ+ youth with caring mentors who provide guidance and encouragement.

Through one-to-one mentorship, LGBTQ+ youth (Littles) are matched with adult mentors (Bigs) who offer friendship, advice, and a listening ear. These relationships help young people navigate life’s challenges, explore their interests, and gain the skills they need to reach their full potential.

For parents and guardians, BIGPride offers an opportunity for their child to build a trusted connection with a mentor who is dedicated to their growth and success. Our program is committed to providing mentorship that fosters confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
