A Bit About Us

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Israel accompanies, trains and matches volunteers aged 18+ (Big Siblings) to youth in need of a supportive, adult role model in their lives (Little Siblings).
Our volunteers arrive at their Little Sibling’s living area for two hours a week for at-least a year, all in order to talk, share and sometimes have fun 😉

Short Testimonies from Our Big Siblings

Roy tells us about his experiences with his Little Brother Yotam: “Yotam and I are siblings for over a year and a half. He’s sixteen and a half, smart, mature and sweet. During our sessions we talk about any topic that comes up. Yotam is interested in lots of subjects: Current affairs, politics, economy, sports and more – it’s just fun to hold a conversation with him! Some of our sessions we travel outside, do sport and always have fun. I feel like I’m a role model to him and that’s why he’s interested in the happenings of my life. Yotam and I can’t wait for our weekly session. In my eyes, I benefit from this relationship just as much as Yotam.”

Ido tells us about his experience with his Little Brother Lior: “In my eyes, the experience with Lior is something amazing that I didn’t expect to fill me so much. We do new things each time and more than anything, have fun. That’s why we don’t have a planned schedule and sometimes we change the plan as we go, multiple times a day. Lior is a Little Brother and friend that I’m glad to have had the privilege to meet.”
