Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yellowstone County


Stand With Us

“Stand With Us” highlights the importance of bridging the gap between youth and much-needed mentors. Currently BBBSYC has over 100 Littles waiting for a Big, and the cost of recruitment for those Bigs continues to rise. “Stand With Us” allows us to recruit more effectively, targeting mentors throughout Yellowstone County

Special Olympics Montana Yellowstone Valley Area


Billings Polar Plunge

The Billings Polar Plunge is a signature event that partners with law enforcement and provides an opportunity for individuals, clubs, organizations, businesses, and schools to support Billings area athletes and teams by jumping into a large pool of icy water at REI Co-op on Dec. 10, at 2 pm. Anyone can take part by financially supporting individual plungers or plunging teams. Proceeds provide year-round health, leadership, and sports programming for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the Billings area and throughout Montana.

Volunteers of America Northern Rockies


Year End Campaign

Our year-end campaign raises critical funds for our Homeless Services and Ministry. Gifts received through the Homeless Services campaign provide critical housing services for our neighbors in need. Homeless Services includes emergency housing, rapid rehousing, homeless prevention and case management to assist with permanent housing, employment, life skills and other issues that our clients may be facing.

The other focus of our year-end campaign is VOA’s Ministry of Service. The organization has seen significant growth in the last year. It’s been a blessing to serve more of our neighbors in need. Unfortunately, the ministry has not been able to grow at the same pace. Our goal with the year-end campaign is to raise enough to cover an entire year of ministry services at the current cost of $767 a day before December 31.

Yellowstone Academy Giving Tree & YBGR Foundation Secret Santa

In addition, the Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch Foundation is in search of a secret Santa to make the Holidays possible for youth that reside at YBGR.
