ABOUT JEWISH BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS LOS ANGELES
Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles (JBBBSLA) is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to helping youth achieve their full potential through mentorship, camp experiences, and educational support. Serving children and families from diverse backgrounds across Los Angeles, the organization delivers impact through three core program areas: one-to-one mentoring relationships that foster youth development and long-term success; Camp Bob Waldorf, a premier residential summer camp and year-round retreat center; and college access and scholarship programs that provide guidance, resources, and financial assistance to support higher education achievement.
Rooted in Jewish values of community, responsibility, and service, JBBBSLA combines direct service programming with an over 100-year legacy of philanthropy and volunteer engagement, and has reached over 40,000 children throughout its history. The organization is financially strong, with an annual operating budget of approximately $6 – $8 million, a substantial endowment, and an engaged donor base. Led by a senior leadership team of 6 who oversee development, mentoring services, camp operations, college scholarship & success programs and finance, JBBBSLA is well-positioned to continue expanding its impact on youth and families throughout the Los Angeles community, to ensure that no child is left behind.
