Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City is reaching out to LGBTQ youth in the five boroughs through a new initiative called Big Pride.

Across New York City, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) serves more than 5,500 young people each year, and though the organization has certainly mentored LGBTQ youth before, it’s tweaking its approach to better help that community.
