BBBSChi goes to Springfield!
President & CEO Jeremy Foster and Chief Development Officer David Gee spent a powerful day at the State Capital, advocating for BBBSChi and the 2,000+ young people, families, and volunteers the organization proudly stands alongside every day.
We’re grateful to Governor Pritzker for welcoming us and for his continued leadership as a champion for young people. His belief in the power of having an additional caring adult in a young person’s corner makes a real difference across our state!
We’re proud to keep pushing forward so every child has access to the mentorship they deserve.

Nothing but the best of luck to the Class of 2026!
On May 7, BBBSChi held a Graduation Celebration honoring our graduating Littles and their Bigs. The evening brought together hundreds of members of the BBBSChi community, and each Match had the opportunity to share their story and talk about their future plans.
We would like to thank every sponsor who made this celebration possible!

Every young person deserves to feel welcomed, seen, and celebrated.
At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we create spaces where young people can show up as their full, authentic selves—building meaningful connections with volunteer mentors who uplift, empower, and inspire.
This #NationalVolunteerMonth, we’re celebrating our incredible BBBS community of volunteers who dedicate their time as mentors, Bigs, supporters, and champions of our mission. As the nation’s largest volunteer‑supported mentoring network, we’re inspired by the impact our volunteers—past, present, and future—have in shaping lives and strengthening communities.
Thank you for providing young people with the guidance and support they need to become the leaders and change‑makers of tomorrow.
Let’s keep making a difference together. ✨
