Think back to your own childhood. Who was that special person who brought a little magic to your life? Big Brothers and Sisters are mentoring adults and friends who not only help create wonderful memories for children, but help them live bigger lives. Studies show that children with mentors become more self sufficient and confident, do better in school and are more likely to avoid illegal behaviors. We match caring adult volunteers Bigs with Jewish children Littles ages 6 to 18 based on similar interests and personalities.
Our Littles come from a diverse variety of backgrounds and needs. These one-on-one mentoring matches help children and teens become self-sufficient, healthy and productive individuals by pairing them with a positive adult role model. To aid in the development of confident, responsible and caring individuals by providing high-quality, professionally supported mentoring services and programs to Jewish children and their families. Each match is supported by a professional therapist who helps the pair develop their relationship and reap many life-learning and long-time benefits.
