Boys and their families are not charged for our service. We depend on the generosity of our community to provide one-to-one mentoring to children in need. It costs $1,750 per year to support one Big Brother/Little Brother mentorship. The alternative can be costly. That same year, spent at the Rhode Island Training School, costs taxpayers $100,000.
Cars for Kids' Sake
Consider donating your vehicle to charity. Cars for Kids' Sake is a fast, easy and hassle-free way to donate your used car, truck, SUV, boat, motorcycle, farm or construction equipment to support kids who need positive role models. The vehicle doesn't need to run.
Call the toll-free number below or click here to learn more. Your vehicle will be picked up, processed and turned into a lifetime of memories for children in your community.

A Big Brother is a mentor, role model
and a friend to a fatherless boy.
Big Brothers see their Little Brothers regularly
and consistently, usually once a week.
Big and Little Brothers watch movies, play basketball, eat pizza, visit museums, go hiking, build model airplanes, play catch, work on cars, complete homework or school projects or just sit and talk.
Little Brothers are between the ages of 7 and 14
when they are matched with a Big Brother.
Big Brothers are age 15 or over.
They can be single, married, widowed or divorced,
a student, professional, laborer or retiree.
