Community Partner

For the second year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Washington is proud to partner with the Bellingham Bulldogs to bring fun, safe activities for local at-risk youth.

The Bellingham Bulldogs Semi-Pro Football Organization is a local non-profit, community-driven organization headquartered in Bellingham, WA. Their mission is to utilize the game of football as an educational tool to create an environment in which they can mentor young men intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually while teaching them to compete both on and off the field. We seek to establish positive mutually beneficial relationships with coaches, educators, leaders and business within Whatcom County in an unwavering commitment to develop the organization based on integrity, honor, discipline, strength of character, and sense of community.

WelcomeBox2 

It is the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Washington to help the children of Whatcom and Skagit Counties reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships.

To achieve our mission of successful mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them, Big Brothers Big Sisters recruits and trains dedicated volunteers to match with at-risk youth in the local community. 

Through careful background checks, training and regular match support, Big Brothers Big Sisters is working to ensure that every child who needs a caring adult role model has one—contributing to brighter futures, better schools and stronger communities for generations to come.
