One to One Mentor or Friend
One to One Mentor or Friend
Want a rewarding, meaningful volunteer experience unlike any other? Give the invaluable gift of your friendship today.
Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Boston (JBBBS) aims to transform lives through friendship. We introduce children and teens in need of adult mentors and match adults with disabilities to new friends in their communities.
JBBBS could not have the impact it does without the countless volunteers who give their time, energy and passion to our clients. Each year, more than 600 volunteers give their time to one of JBBBS’ programs. Volunteers are Jewish and non-Jewish students, professionals, parents and grandparents as diverse as the individuals we serve.
At JBBBS, volunteers may get involved in Programs for Children, College Mentoring for Teens or Programs for Adults with Disabilities.
