Big Brothers Big Sisters of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties, NJ, an affiliate of the national organization, creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth, and to be a credible social justice organization embedded in our community. Founded in 2008, the local affiliate is a nationally recognized leader for its public-private partnerships and its delivery of a culturally responsive continuum of services rooted in each youth’s one-to-one mentoring relationship with an adult volunteer. Local agency youth on average graduate high school at an average of 96%. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties has served over 4,400+ youth since its inception in 2008.

We utilize the national gold standard, evidence-based model to carefully screen volunteers, pair youth in one-to-one mentoring relationships with adult volunteer mentors, and assign a dedicated BBBS team member to support the youth, parent/guardian, and volunteer to achieve positive outcomes for the youth and mentoring relationship.
By spending just 4 hours a month for one year with a child you're creating meaningful impact!
