Be Bronx, Be Big: Mentorship That Matters
Bronx youth need mentors who get them-real people from their own communities who can guide, inspire, and help them level up. The Be Bronx, Be Big Initiative is all about connecting young professionals (like you) with Bronx kids who could use a mentor that actually understands their world. Just 4 hours a month can make a real impact on a young person’s future, helping them navigate school, career goals, and everyday life. This is your chance to give back, build community, and be part of something bigger. Be Bronx. Be Big. Let’s change the game together.

Description
BBBS of NYC is considered the founding agency of the nation’s youth mentoring movement. Since 1904, our mission has been to give all children in New York City who face adversity an opportunity to experience a strong, enduring professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationship with adults that will help change their lives for the better. We partner with families, volunteers, organizations, and the community to inspire positive change in all.
Currently there are 508,503 children living at or below the poverty level in New York City. 43% of children in New York City are from single-parent families. Every year, BBBS of NYC connects more than 5,000 of these kids with a "Big" who can help them believe that their present situation doesn’t have to be their future
