Our Programs
Meaningful relationships. Expertly supported.
At JBBBS, connection is at the heart of everything we do. Through our Mentorship and Friend 2 Friend programs, we bring people together in thoughtfully matched one-to-one relationships designed to reduce isolation, build confidence, and create a deeper sense of belonging.
Every match is supported by experienced JBBBS professionals who provide ongoing guidance and resources to help relationships grow and thrive.
Two Programs. One Commitment to Connection.
Mentorship
For Children and Young Adults
Children and young adults ages 7–22 are matched with caring volunteer mentors who become trusted friends, role models, and sources of encouragement. With ongoing support from JBBBS, these relationships help young people build confidence, connection, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Friend 2 Friend
For Adults with Disabilities
Adults with disabilities are matched with volunteer friends based on shared interests and personalities. Together, they build genuine one-to-one relationships that reduce isolation, foster inclusion, and bring mutual joy and connection.
Relationships That Make a Difference
For more than a century, JBBBS has seen what can happen when people feel seen, supported, and connected. Learn more about the difference these relationships make for participants, families, volunteers, and our community.
