Mission

BBBS of NYC is considered the founding agency of the nation’s youth mentoring movement. Since 1904, our mission has been to give all children in New York City who face adversity an opportunity to experience a strong, enduring professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationship with adults that will help change their lives for the better. We partner with families, volunteers, organizations, and the community to inspire positive change in all.

Activities

POD Program offers students one-time mentoring experiences. These include career days, classroom presentations, sports or music activities, school cleanup or improvement projects and more. These one-time events help students develop workplace skills, learn about opportunities in the city, and get a chance to spend time with a positive adult role model.
