Open Doors. Spark Potential. Change a Life.
This June, your generosity can open doors, spark confidence, and create belonging for young people across the Lehigh Valley.
Through The BIG Give, we invite you to make a gift of $25 or more in support of one-to-one mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley. It’s a simple act that fuels something extraordinary—real relationships that help young people thrive.
When a child has a consistent, caring adult in their corner, everything changes. Confidence grows. Curiosity expands. Possibilities feel closer. Mentorship doesn’t just support youth—it strengthens families and uplifts entire communities.
Because of supporters like you, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley reaches nearly 500 local youth each year through programs that center on connection, growth, and opportunity.
Your Gift at Work
A gift to The BIG Give helps open the door to mentorship for more young people in our community.
If we reach our $26,000 goal, you will support the creation of 100 new mentor–mentee matches across all Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley programs during the 2026–2027 program year. That means more youth matched with caring adults who listen, guide, and show up—consistently.
Little Sister Itzel and Big Sister Amanda are a powerful example of what these relationships can become. What began as a supported introduction through BBBSLV has grown into a meaningful, trusting bond built on regular check-ins, shared conversations, and genuine care over the past seven years.
Itzel explains it best:
“I think my life would be very different without her. I might keep making the same mistakes. I might keep everything inside. She helps me talk things through before they feel too overwhelming.”
This is the power of mentorship—and your support makes it possible.
Click here to read Amanda and Itzel’s full story.
Be Part of the Impact
An investment in Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley is an investment in our region’s future—one relationship at a time. We could not share stories like Itzel and Amanda's without your support.
Join us this June. Make a gift. Share the campaign. And help ensure that every child who wants a mentor has the chance to experience the world a little bigger.
Small gift. Big impact.
