Welcome to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA
We are thrilled to announce a significant expansion of our service area! We are broadening our reach from 5 to 7 counties through the acquisition of the BBBS York & Adams Counties affiliate. To align with our new service region, we are changing our name to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA!
Our one-to-one mentoring programs are grounded in evidence-based practices that help young people develop the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s challenges. By expanding into these new counties, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of South-Central PA is poised to make an even greater impact on the lives of youth, helping them reach their full potential.
As part of this transition, we will be updating our logo, website, and marketing materials. These changes will be rolled out over the next few months.

JOE’s GOLF CHALLENGE
Joe Holston, Board Member with Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA is raising funds to support our mission: to ignite the power and promise of youth.
After 4 years of consecutively increasing the number of holes to his golf challenge, he decided to do something different. On September 24th, Joe took on a BIG challenge; he successfully golfed 6 rounds (108 holes) in one day with ONLY 3 CLUBS and NO putter!
He is working towards the goal of raising $75,000 in support of our youth mentoring program. Will you help?
OVER THE EDGE. $86K+ Raised!
Thank you for helping us exceed our goal!
On Friday, October 4th, over 80 daring participants climbed to the roof of Market Square Plaza in downtown Harrisburg and braved a 200-foot rappel down the face of the building in support of our mission.
There is still time to donate – our Over The Edge fundraising platform will be open through the end of November for our participants and community to support our kids.
Every dollar makes a difference, keeping our programs going and growing – creating life-changing friendships and empowering youth to dream BIG!
Over The Edge was made possible thanks to the generosity and dedication of individual rappelers and corporate sponsors including Presenting Sponsor, Fleet Repair Solutions, LLC.
