Standing Together to Defend Potential
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks (BBBSO) works to clear the path to a child’s biggest possible future by matching them with a caring, adult mentor in a one-to-one friendship. “Bigs” help “Littles” ignite, empower and defend their potential by standing with them. As part of this mission, BBBSO has partnered with community leaders in Henry County, Missouri.
