Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hunterdon Somerset & Warren

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hunterdon Somerset & Warren (BBBSHSW), a non-profit 501 (c) 3 corporation, has established a history of enriching children's lives by establishing one-to-one mentoring relationships since 1980. BBBSHSW is a full member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the nation's oldest and most successful mentoring organization.

BBBSHSW enables youth to achieve their highest potential, through professionally supported relationships with caring adults, who serve as role models, mentors and friends. Big Brothers and Big Sisters enrich a child's life while building strong families and communities. Statistically children in match relationships are less likely than their non-matched counterparts to drop out of school turn to alcohol or drugs and become involved in the juvenile justice system. A Big Brother or Big Sister teaches life skills; builds self-esteem; helps improve a youngster's social, academic and interpersonal skills. Volunteers can help children address difficult life choice decisions regarding substance abuse, educational and career goals. All of our matches focus on building a friendship between and a Big and a Little that will be rewarding to the volunteer and have a positive lasting impact on the child.
