Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Cayman Islands

Changing Perspectives.  Changing Lives. 
 

For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

The Movement was first introduced to Grand Cayman in the mid 1980s by Rev. Stanwyck Myles and others. While BBBS Cayman Islands is an independent not-for-profit organization, the program is now under the auspice of the Lions Club of Grand Cayman and depends solely on sponsorship and fund-raising events.
 
Mission:  provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

Vision: all children achieve success in life.

Accountability: by partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community we are accountable for each child in our programme achieving:
•  higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships;
•  avoidance of risky behaviors; and
•  educational success

Our Programs Start Something
Here's the proof. Research has shown that positive relationships between Littles and their Bigs have a direct and measurable impact on children’s lives. By participating in our programs, Little Brothers and Sisters are:
• more confident in their schoolwork performance;
• able to get along better with their families;
• 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs;
• 27% less likely to begin using alcohol; and
• 52% less likely to skip school.
