BBBS is changing how our children grow up in Lorain County!

Because of recent events with high school students in Massachusetts, the awareness of teen pregnancy is high in the public eye. According to the Ohio Department of Health's, health statistics, births to unmarried mothers in Lorain County have steadily increased since 1990 when it was 31 percent. Through strong one-to-one relationships and intentional weekly activities our vision is to reverse this trend, starting with 30 children and 30 adult mentors this year. Click here for more...
