Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence is a donor-supported organization that aims to enrich, encourage, and empower children to reach their utmost potential through safe and impactful one-to-one mentoring relationships. Serving various counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, they positively impact the lives of nearly 1,700 children annually. Volunteering as a Big Brother or Big Sister with this organization means making a measurable difference in a child's life by sharing new perspectives and experiences.

National research has shown that these positive relationships have a direct and measurable impact on children's lives. Through their programs, Little Brothers and Sisters become more confident in their schoolwork, have better relationships with their families, and are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. The organization is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and they have a diverse team dedicated to helping children achieve success in life.

They work in collaboration with parents, guardians, volunteers, and the community to ensure that each child in their program achieves higher aspirations, greater confidence, better relationships, and educational success. Join Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence and be a part of their mission to ignite the power and promise of youth, close the mentoring gap, and help all youth achieve their full potential
