What we do

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Israel provides trained, caring and committed adult volunteer mentors for girls and boys growing up in single-parent families. 

What makes Big Brothers Big Sisters of Israel unique?

• Our Big Brothers and Sisters commit to mentoring relationships that we hope will last for years.
• We provide Big Brothers and Big Sisters with on-going professional support and training.
• Volunteers do not receive any financial remuneration for their time.
• Children and their families are not charged for the service we provide. 

Why is one-on-one long-term mentoring important?

In Israel there are increasing numbers of children from single-parent families who need an additional caring adult in their lives. An ongoing one-on-one relationship with a responsible adult provides these children with an important additional role model and a special friend.
