Parents to Little Brother
I serve because I believe deeply in this mission. I stay because I see the impact—firsthand. And I am fully committed—to Sarah, to our Littles, and to the future we are building together.
Big Sister and JBBBSLA Board Member
Our wonderful Bigs have been an extra adult in my children’s lives — positive role models, who provide guidance, encouragement, and consistent support.
Parent of 3 Littles
When I joined JBBBS, I had no idea how rewarding this experience would be--and that it would be one of the best decisions in my entire life.
Big Sister
JBBBS gives me an opportunity to build a relationship with my Big that will last a lifetime. We participate in Big and Little outings organized through them, and I have met other Littles at these outings. I am lucky to be a part of JBBBS!
Little Sister
I love my experience every year going to Camp Bob Waldorf. I have a great time there and I’m sure others do too. It makes me smile and learn new things and get better at things too.
