We currently operate in Monroe, Livingston, Ontario, Wayne and Yates Counties. We have development plans for Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming Counties.

Here is a summary of the number of Matches* we have in each county, and the programs that serve them (*a "Match" is one "Big" and one "Little" in a one-to-one relationship).

Livingston County

Student Bigs are responsible to pick up their Littles and choose activities each time they're together. The program is overseen by Big Brothers Big Sisters staff with significant assistance from SUNY staff and student volunteers.
