Big Brothers Big Sisters has an exciting new program mentoring children of prisoners. We have received a grant through the Department of Health and Human Services and partnered with other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across the state to serve children who have a parent in a state or federal prison. This program is being called Amachi. We are looking to serve children ages 6-14 who have one or both parents in state or federal prison, or have a significant loved one in state or federal prison. For more information, please contact our agency. The volunteers for this program are primarily from the faith based community..

If your community organization or business would like BBBSC to come to you and conduct a free presentation, call 931-647-1418. We want you to know what our agency does and how we impact the children in this community.

Each month is featured by a different painting that depicits the Clarksville community. The calendars are $18 and are on sale at Big Brothers Big Sisters and all F&M Bank locations.

Male Volunteers needed! We have more than 100 children who are ready to be matched right now. They range in age from 6-15 and more than 80% are boys. We know that children who have a mentor as a child are more successful in school, less likely to use drugs and alcohol and are much more likely to grow into successful adults who attend and finish college.
