Senate Resolution No. recognizes April 8, 2026, as Big Brothers Big Sisters Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. This resolution highlights the positive impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters programs on youth in Louisiana, noting that participants experience improved academic outcomes, stronger relationships, and greater long-term success. The resolution acknowledges the efforts of local organizations, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana, Acadiana, and Greater New Orleans, in fostering one-to-one mentoring relationships that empower young people, referred to as "Littles," through the guidance of caring volunteer mentors, known as "Bigs."

Additionally, the resolution emphasizes innovative initiatives like the Big Futures program, which allows high school students to serve as mentors while receiving workforce-readiness training. This dual-impact model not only benefits the younger mentees but also equips high school students, or "High School Bigs," with essential skills for their future. The resolution commends the commitment of these organizations to unlocking the potential of Louisiana's youth and recognizes their achievements in serving hundreds of youth and recruiting numerous volunteers in the past fiscal year. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the respective Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations.
