HOUSTON Mentoring Stories
Imagine how different the world would be if we all took responsibility for one life outside of our own families. Big Brothers Big Sisters allows us to do just that, and with love and dedication, will help is change the world for our children.
— TEA Commisioner Mike Morath and former Brother
Jenny and I are a perfect match. We have the same name, both have dogs named Max, and both love avocado on our pizza.
— Big Sister Jenny Guzman
I couldn’t be luckier than to be matched with Haven and to get to go on adventures with him all the time.
— Big Brother Zachary McKenzie
I signed up because I wanted more than just a one-time, short-term volunteer opportunity. When you mentor a child through Big Brothers Big Sisters, you are part of a family; something much bigger than yourself.

My mom taught me how to survive. My Big taught me how to thrive.
