For 100 years, Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles (JBBBSLA) has provided professionally-supported, free, one-to-one mentoring for Jewish boys and girls, ages 6 and older, who could benefit from an additional committed, attentive, and positive adult role-model.

We match Littles (mentees) with Bigs (mentors) based on compatibility of interests, personalities, strengths and needs. Bigs and Littles spend quality time together twice a month engaging in recreational, cultural, or educational outings. They can also participate in agency-sponsored events with other matches. While participants commit to the program for at least one year, most remain in each other’s lives for much longer as caring, trusted friends. JBBBSLA offers additional opportunities and resources through camp experiences and college scholarships.
