Jewish Big Pals
Unique mentoring opportunities for Jewish children in San Diego County
Build Deeper Connections to Heritage & Community
Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Center for Jewish Care at JFS in San Diego have partnered to create a unique mentoring opportunity for Jewish children aged seven to 16.
Jewish mentors help children foster a deeper connection to their heritage and culture while supporting them in navigating the world around them.
The Center for Jewish Care provides Jewish holiday gatherings, group Padres tickets, and other opportunities to engage in Jewish holidays and culture, in addition to BBBS match events throughout the year for Bigs and Littles to get together.
In partnership with
- Jewish Family Service
BBBS staff support matches with regular check-ins, training, and meetings. The Center for Jewish Care at JFS provides ongoing consultation and cultural competency training to BBBS staff and continues to work within our Jewish community to identify and refer potential Littles and Bigs.
The Center for Jewish Care can also support Little’s families and Bigs with comprehensive social services, including food, housing, and transportation.
