About Empower a kid in your community. Become a Big Today!

It only takes one person to see potential to ignite it! Become a Big and give a child the invaluable gift of your friendship and positively impact their life – for only 4 hours per month!

By simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can literally start changing their life. Just as your options are unlimited, so is your Little’s potential.

With the coaching and guidance of our professionally trained staff, our mentors bring a sense of relief from stress, build trust, and hope for the future – exactly what our Littles need!

Our Bigs help their Littles beat the odds and realize their full potential every day.

"I do truly believe that this has been the most impactful thing that I have done as an adult. I can’t thank Brothers and Sisters enough for their support and mentorship along the way." - Big Sister Kaitlyn

"I could not be more grateful to BBBS of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties for setting up our match and providing us with the support structure to positively impact both of our lives. It’s for these reasons why I would recommend mentoring as a Big to anyone looking to give back to their community." - Big Brother Omar
