Think back to when you were younger. Other than your parents, who touched your life in a simple but special way? Who was that person you always remember with a smile?
Maybe your aunt, who taught you her secret recipe, or your neighbor, who let you help him fix his car. Maybe it was someone who took you to a ball game, taught you how to play "Chopsticks" or showed you how to catch fireflies in a jar. Maybe it was someone who just included you in an everyday activity because it was fun - for both of you.
Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is about sharing simple magic moments like these with a child. Each of us has had a special person who opened doors and widened our horizons. By being a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can do the same for a child, and you will both be forever changed.
From High Point to Cape May, children's lives are being changed through the Big Brother Big Sister experience. New Jersey is proud to have eleven Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies serving children in 20 of our 21 counties. The New Jersey State Association of Big Brothers Big Sisters Agencies brings together these agencies to form a collaborative providing a framework of support so we can best serve New Jersey's youth.
