Become a Big Brother or Big Sister for a Child in Need!

JBFCS' Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) programs are friendship-based and match children from single-parent or special needs homes with caring adults of the same gender on a 1:1 basis. Assignments are carefully made to ensure that the mutual interests of both "Bigs" and "Littles" are met.

In-Treatment BBBS is for children who are clients of JBFCS and serves as an important adjunt to the child's therapeutic treatment at one of our clinics or residential treatment facilities. Volunteer "Bigs" and their client "Littles" represent the diversity of New Yorkers.

Jewish Big Brother Big Sister program serves Jewish children from the community who are not in treatment at JBFCS. "Littles" are matched with Jewish volunteers of the same gender.
