Changing the way Children Grow up in South Texas PDF Print E-mail

A crisis in our community

The children in South Texas are facing challenges that sometimes lead them to making decisions on their own that they are not fully equipped to make.

  • Texas schools are losing 1/3 of their students
  • In 2005, 39 out of every 1,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 17 gave birth
  • Dropout rates for Hispanic and African American students are the same and, for some areas, worse than they were 20 years ago

Big Brothers Big Sisters – a part of the solution ...

Many times our children make wrong choices that could have easily been avoided with support from a mentor.

Our Children:

  • Make good choices
  • Avoid risky behavior
  • Graduate from High School

Be a Part of the solution with us. Volunteer or give a gift to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Texas.
