The DC Council developed a mission statement to guide us as we try to make your experience as a Big Brother and a Big Sister extraordinary. 

The mission of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Council is to advance, enhance, and support the efforts of the Big/Little Brother and Sister matches and to promote the important volunteer work of the BB and BS. 

The success of the council is dependent on the commitment and efforts of the local Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers.  These councils exist to meet the needs of the local membership for social, recreational, educational, and fund raising purposes.
