At Storm Creek, we believe in doing good while doing business. That’s why we’re proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities—one of the incredible nonprofit organizations we partner with to help build stronger communities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) creates life-changing relationships by pairing adult mentors (“Bigs”) with youth (“Littles”) for friendship, guidance, and growth. These one-to-one matches help young people explore their potential, build confidence, and prepare for the future.
How Storm Creek Partners with BBBS Twin Cities
Our partnership with BBBS Twin Cities began in 2020, and it’s grown into something truly meaningful. Since 2022, they’ve been our featured nonprofit partner during VIP Night at our annual Warehouse Sale. Just like this year, 100% of VIP ticket proceeds and 10% of sales from the evening go directly to support their mission.
We recently teamed up with BBBS to promote The Big Hike, a powerful initiative led by Seth Anderson, a BBBS team member. Seth hiked 300 miles along the Superior Hiking Trail to raise awareness for men’s health and the urgent need for more male mentors. Boys in the program often wait the longest for a match, and this journey served as a metaphor for mentorship—challenging, rewarding, and deeply impactful.
Storm Creek was honored to help amplify the message and raise funds for this important cause.
About Big Brothers Big Sisters Programs
BBBS Twin Cities offers a range of mentoring programs designed to support youth at every stage of their development. Here’s a look at how they’re making a difference:
Youth Mentoring
The heart of BBBS is one-to-one mentoring. Youth ages 8–13 are matched with caring adults who spend time with them doing activities they both enjoy. This program is now called Community Mentoring.
They also offer Site-Based Mentoring, where mentors meet with youth at a consistent location—like a school, workplace, or college—throughout the academic year.
Another impactful program is Graduation Coaches, where volunteers help high school students build study habits, navigate peer relationships, and plan for life after graduation.
Free Arts
Free Arts is a unique BBBS program that blends mentorship with creative expression. Volunteers lead weekly art projects at community partner sites across the Twin Cities, helping youth explore their creativity while building strong relationships.
This initiative partners with local artists, social service agencies, and community organizations to bring arts programming to underserved neighborhoods—empowering youth through imagination and connection.
College and Future Readiness
Part of the Big Futures initiative, this program helps youth ages 12 and up prepare for life after high school. With support from mentors and staff, Littles explore career paths, set goals, and build the skills they need to succeed.
From middle school through high school—and even into alumni life—BBBS provides holistic support focused on education, employment, and personal growth.
At Storm Creek, we’re proud to stand alongside Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities. Their work inspires us, and we’re committed to helping them create BIGGER, BETTER, BRIGHTER futures—one match at a time.
