The Bigs in Blue program provides a special time when at -risk children in Miami can have a positive engagement with police in schools or in the community. The Bigs in Blue program currently has 45 at -risk youth ("Littles") who are matched at over 10 different elementary schools with a police officer ("Big") for a one -hour one-to-one mentoring session each week.

Based on the signature one-to-one mentoring model, Bigs in Blue promote regular interaction with our community's day-to-day heroes which positively influences the behavior of our Littles to build a strong, trusting relationship, helping him or her become a rising star.
