About us

Formerly Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Lawrence, BFLF matches kids with caring and responsible adult role models. We are now a program of Family Service, Inc. Big Friends Little Friends is a community-based mentoring program. Matches are made with considerations to such things as geographic location, interests, and personalities. Matches do many different things together, depending on their interests. They could go to movies, the beach, bake cookies, go for a bike ride, attend sporting events or mostly anything else they are both interested in doing . What is most important is the time they share together!
