At Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA, we create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
We unite young people (Littles) with caring, positive adult role models (Bigs) in professionally supported mentoring friendships.
We Went Over the Edge
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Over the Edge Fundraiser a BIG success! On October 9, over 60 individuals braved the 18-story Market Square Plaza rooftop and rappelled in support of youth mentorship.
To our rappellers, sponsors, volunteers, community partners, and everyone who donated or cheered us on, THANK YOU! Your support helps us continue creating life-changing mentoring relationships for youth across our seven-county region.
Missed your chance to donate? There's still time! Our Over the Edge fundraising platform will remain open through November 1, and every contribution helps us make an even greater impact in the lives of local youth.
*Participants are asked to fundraise a minimum $1,000 prior to rappel.
Giving Spree
Held on November 5, the Adams County Community Foundation Giving Spree is Adams County's annual day of giving, bringing the community together at one location to learn about local nonprofits and providing them with vital financial support.
The Giving Spree makes charitable giving simple and impactful. Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA is one of over 100 nonprofits participating in this fundraising day. Support our youth mentorship programs in Adams County with a gift during this meaningful event.
*Participants are asked to fundraise a minimum $1,000 prior to rappel.
Big Futures Fair
Our Big Futures Fair, in partnership with the Zeta Theta Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., is Friday, November 13. This event will bring high school students from across our region together at HACC’s Harrisburg Campus to explore college, career and workforce opportunities while connecting with people and organizations who can help them think about what comes next. This event is open to the public from 9:00 am - 11:00 am. Contact Corey Dupree at cdupree@bbbsscpa.org more details.
Why Mentoring Matters
Youth come from all walks of life. For many, that walk includes adversity and difficult circumstances that no child should have to face alone. Little gestures – a small investment of time or a donation to sponsor a match – can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

It Takes Little to Be Big
The power of mentorship lies in the moments that spark curiosity, aspiration, and inspire potential. Maybe it was the coach who encouraged you to keep going. The guidance counselor who insisted your dreams were within reach. Even the littlest moments can grow into big ones – with a little encouragement, a little hope, and a little inspiration.
You can become a volunteer, a mentor, a champion for youth.
