Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters has received Big Brothers Big Sisters of America's 2010 Gold Standard Award for significantly increasing revenues and successfully serving more children last year. The agency is one of 22 of the national mentoring network's nearly 400 agencies to receive the honor.

DC-BBBS This year Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters will serve more than 1,000 children, matching them with a Big Brother, Big Sister or Family. Research proves that, compared to all other children their age, boys and girls matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister are 60 percent less likely to get arrested, 46 percent less likely to initiate drug use and 52 percent less likely to skip school.
