Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. They have  been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert opened its doors in 1996 and has since been helping the children in our community.  Their mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with mentors.  They serve children throughout the Coachella Valley, ages 6 through 18, in two distinct programs: Community Mentoring and Site Based Mentoring.  Over the past three years, the program has grown by 153 percent and has been recognized nationally for its accomplishments by Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

KPSP Local 2 and the Berger Foundation present the Coachella Valley Spotlight, a celebration of the good work being done by one of the many local non-profit charitable organizations that serve our Desert communities.

Each group recognized by the Coachella Valley Spotlight will be the subject of numerous news stories as well as public service announcements and features on kpsplocal2.com that will tell you more about their work and what you can do to get involved to help support these wonderful local organizations.

We hope you enjoy this new program that focuses on positive stories and shines a bright light on why life in our Desert paradise is so special.
