GROWING UP COMES WITH CHALLENGES

Having a mom or dad in prison, adds an extra layer of difficulty to a child’s journey.

Given the reason for a parent’s incarceration, its effect on the child’s family, the child’s current living situation, or countless other reasons – children of an incarcerated parent often need additional support and guidance.

According to a U.S. Senate report, 70% of children with incarcerated parents will become incarcerated themselves at some point in their lives – unless they have positive adult intervention.

Fortunately, with your help, Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Mentoring Children of Promise has the ability to provide these vulnerable youth with a fresh perspective on what they can achieve. You have the power to show them what is possible!

Through the support of the Department of Juvenile Justice, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward works with the custodial/legal guardians for youth with incarcerated parents to provide caring, consistent one-to-one mentoring that can better their lives for the better, forever.
