A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNI BOARD

In 2025, we reimagined what it means to be part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters family—beyond the match relationship, beyond the program. The result? A revitalized Alumni Network, designed to connect everyone who’s ever been a Big or a Little to one another and to our ongoing mission.

Alumni Stories

Congratulations to our newest Alumni Class of 2025!

TIM & JEFF

In the summer of 1983, Tim found himself embarking on a journey that would shape not only his life, but also that of a young boy named Jeff—and thousands of Littles across Orange County and the Inland Empire.

From struggling in school to earning a full-ride to Chapman University, Alessandro credits his Big Ralph—once a first-generation student himself—for helping him stay grounded and hopeful.
