We’re thrilled to introduce a new match—Big Sister Camille and Little Sister Amoria! 🌟 From their very first chat, Camille and Amoria discovered they have so much in common—both love sports, especially track and tennis, and share a fun fascination with celebrity crushes. They also agree that the perfect Saturday involves sleeping in and indulging in a shopping spree at the mall! We’re excited to see the amazing journey they’ll embark on together. Welcome to the BBBSI family, Camille and Amoria! 🎊 #MatchMonday #BBBSI #NewMatch #MentorshipMatters #WelcomeToTheFamily

We were honored to have our CEO, Marcus Allen, participate in an inspiring fireside chat at the Holman Emerge Event alongside, Mindy Holman, and Nate Koonce, a dedicated Big Brother and member of our Governing Board. During the segment, Investing in Our Community: Spotlight on Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, we highlighted the incredible impact of programs like Beyond School Walls and Mentor 2.0—initiatives that connect young people with workplace mentors and foster entrepreneurial skills. A special shoutout to Holman for being such an amazing partner in our Beyond School Walls Programs! Together, we’re making a real difference in the lives of our community’s youth. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this important conversation. Let’s continue to invest in the future and uplift our communities! #BBBSI #CommunityImpact

Recently, we held a fantastic Big Cousins event at the Norristown Police Headquarters! This initiative, launched in 2023, is all about supporting children who are waiting for a one-to-one match. Through Big Cousins, BBBSI staff and volunteers facilitate monthly group mentoring sessions where youth in our waiting pool get to play games, make crafts, and participate in workshops. It’s all about building connections and having fun while they wait for their Big! Check out these snapshots from the day, and stay tuned for more updates on our amazing programs!
