Resource Sites: Angel Tree Mentoring, a ministry of Prison Fellowship, is available to the local church to develop Christ-centered relationships between children of prisoners and caring Christian adult volunteers who have been approved by the leadership of that church. Founded in 1904, Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest and largest youth mentoring organization in the United States. In 2004, the organization served more than 225,000 youth ages five through 18, in 5,000 communities across the country, through a network of 470 agencies. National research has shown that the positive relationships between Big Brothers and Big Sisters and their Littles have a direct, measurable, and lasting impact on children’s lives.
