The Big Futures Program will
work with Young Adults ages 16-24. The program will focus on the 3 “E’s” of
Education, Enlistment, and Employment. We will help young adults to overcome
any barriers they may face that prevent them from achieving success.
Program benefits include...

adults to achieve educational success by enhancing their math and reading
skills.

- Monthly life skills workshops to gain valuable knowledge in various areas such applying for college and financial aid, applying for an apartment/housing, and how to build and maintain healthy credit.
Big Brothers Big Sisters realizes that not all young adults
will be able to achieve success in the 3 “E’s” without help in eliminating any barriers they may face. Anything from not having a working cellphone to having the proper
documentation/identification to apply for a job.
