What Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire does

Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire and Vermont is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 02-0348477) operating as a regional affiliate of the national Big Brothers Big Sisters network. Headquartered at 3 Portsmouth Avenue #2 in Stratham, NH, the organization runs one-to-one youth mentoring programs across New Hampshire and Vermont. Its service population is youth (referred to as "Littles") and adult volunteer mentors ("Bigs"), with secondary relationships to schools, after-school programs, and employer sites that host mentoring placements.

The organization offers a multi-program portfolio built around community-based and school/site-based mentoring. Core programs include Community-Based Mentoring (volunteers matched with children in their local community for regular activities) and School/Site-Based Mentoring (volunteers visit Littles at schools, after-school programs, or workplace sites). Specialized programs extend the core model to distinct populations: PRISM, Bigs in Badges (first-responder mentors), Futures Ahead (academic and career preparation), and Stratton Peer to Peer. The technology footprint is minimal — operations are run through a CMS website and a Salesforce-based enrollment form, with no proprietary platform, no API, no app, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Revenue is derived entirely from charitable contributions. Streams include one-time and recurring monthly individual donations (via the Impact Circle), legacy gifts and bequests, and corporate matching gifts. Mentoring services are provided free of charge to youth and families. Marketing and volunteer recruitment are conducted through a digital-first channel mix (website, email newsletter, social media on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok) supplemented by community events and published annual reports for NH and VT operations. Outcome claims (higher education aspirations, improved decision-making, better self-confidence among Littles) are validated by a national Public/Private Ventures study referenced on the organization's website.
