?? Our first-ever Project Venture 2.0 Career Exploration Day with students from Keansburg High School and our partners at New Jersey Natural Gas was a huge success! The day kicked off with a warm welcome from the NJNG team, followed by an insightful session on various career paths from human resources to renewable energy, and opportunities for students, including internships. Students also participated in a career panel and breakout activities like social media for business, communication skills, and future planning. A big thank you to NJNG for providing transportation, lunch, and for making this day of career exploration and inspiration possible! ?? #BeBig #BiggerTogether #BigBrothersBigSisters #CareerExploration #ProjectVenture #NJNG #FutureLeaders

Thank you, Macy's! We are grateful for this amazing partnership, and we are looking forward to more mentorship moments with Macy's in the future! Macy's delivered BIG magic for our Bigs & Littles throughout this campaign: Big Sister Kelly & Little Sister Michaeyla got to be part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Big Sister Carin & Little Sister Zariyah were featured in the holiday campaign, and our friends at Macy's Garden State Plaza hosted an awesome holiday breakfast for Bigs & Littles. ??? We are #BiggerTogether ??

Capitol Hill Day brought together 50+ Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliates to rally the support of congress in strengthening and expanding our youth mentorship programs. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America President & CEO Artis Stevens, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern New Jersey Executive Director William A. Salcedo Salcedo, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties CEO Donna Bennett stopped for a quick photo in celebration of this inspiring day of advocacy in Washington, D.C. #BBBSHillDay #BeBig #NewJersey

We’ve got the research, the stories, and the proof that mentorship changes lives. But nothing speaks louder than the words of our Bigs & Littles: mentorship opens doors, creates powerful connections, inspires action, and lifts attitudes (and altitudes—thank you, Kadeem!). ?? It’s an anchor that helps our youth thrive, even when the world feels crazy. Here’s to the mentors who make an impact, and the incredible youth they empower every single day. ?? #MentorshipMatters?#BigBrothersBigSisters?#BeBig?#BBBSCNNJ

Today we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by embracing his call to serve others. Mentorship is a form of service that creates lasting impact by empowering communities and future generations. Join us today and help inspire a young person’s future: https://lnkd.in/dS2GS_hZ #BeBig #BigBrothersBigSisters #MLKDay

The equation is simple: more mentorship = more young people thriving and reaching greater heights. Thank you to all supporters who give their time, talent, and treasure to help us reach more young people through mentorship. ?? Learn more at https://lnkd.in/e-QtTKdq

Our BBBS infoSessions are a great way to learn more about the mentoring programs we offer and how YOU can volunteer with us to empower a child. In each session we cover what it takes to be a volunteer mentor, who are the youth we serve and what the impact of mentorship is in their lives, plus other ways to support mentorship with BBBS.
