A Message From Jim Henry

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal and Northern NJ plays a crucial role in transforming the lives of young children typically from single parent or low-income households by providing them with positive role models and mentorship. Having witnessed the impact firsthand, I can attest to the profound difference this organization makes in the lives of both mentors and mentees. The organization serves Monmouth, Middlesex, Bergen, Passaic, Sussex, Warren, Morris, Hunterdon, Somerset, and Ocean Counties. Our mission at Big Brothers Big Sisters is to ignite the potential in every child, and through mentoring relationships, we strive to create positive, lasting change. Your donation can directly contribute to the success of this mission by enabling us to expand our programs, reach more children, and provide the necessary resources to support mentorship initiatives. I have been volunteering for the organization for over 18 years and I have watched my little brother grow from an eight (8) year old boy who couldn’t name an NFL team other than the giants into a young man. Ali, my little brother, graduated high school as a member of the national honors society and graduated with a degree the University of Maryland - College Park. He is now 25 years old and working in sales at a company in Washington DC. Being a Big Brother has given me great perspective on life and allowed me to grow as a man and a father of my 3 young sons so I highly recommend anyone in their early 20’s to volunteer for the organization as it is tremendously rewarding and will help you learn life skills that will prepare you for parenthood. By supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters, you are investing in the future of our communities. Research consistently shows that mentorship has a powerful impact on a child's academic success, social skills, and overall well-being. Your contribution will help us continue to foster these transformative relationships and empower young individuals to achieve their full potential. Whether you choose to make a one-time donation or become a recurring supporter, your generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. Every dollar contributes to the success of our mentorship programs, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the immediate mentor-mentee relationship. Please consider making a donation today to help us continue our important work. You can donate securely online using this website or contact us directly if you have any questions or would like to explore other ways to support our organization. Thank you for your time and consideration. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of the children and families we serve.
