Why Be a Little Sister?

Get Support and Friendship

Jewish Big Sisters (JBS) offers you – as a Little Sister – unconditional support, special friendships and role models. Little Sisters learn to:

Feel more comfortable in groups.
Make new friends.
Participate in new activities.

And you could be matched with a Big Sister where a one-to-one matched relationship could evolve.

What Do You Like to Do?

You'll also fun participating in group activities:

Love to paint? We do many arts and crafts projects.
Like the outdoors? We have outdoor activities like swimming, tennis, picnics and trips to the zoo.
Want to act? We sing and do skits.
Want to learn more about Judaism? We celebrate many of the holidays.

Is JBS Right for Me?

If you identify yourself as Jewish, are age 8 to 17 and answer yes to any of the following questions, JBS might right for you:

Do you have trouble making friends?
Are you always sad?
Is your home life difficult?
Is school hard for you?

Our Director of Social Services helps potential Little Sisters and their families decide if JBS is the right fit. Once you join, she makes sure you get to "know the ropes" and meet the other Little Sisters and Big Sisters.

Through JBS, you can make lasting friendships that endure time and distance. Read some of our True Stories of Little Sister/Big Sister experiences.
