A local mentorship organization is expanding its reach.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region announced on Thursday that it has acquired its York and Adams County affiliate and will change its name to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA.
“We are now serving 7 out of 8 counties in the South-Central PA region,” President and CEO Amy Rote said in a statement. “Our new name aims to enhance our visibility and strengthen our connection with the community.”
According to Rote, the expansion will allow the organization to assist the York and Adams affiliate in growing its services and programs to address the needs of youth. BBBS of South-Central PA will bring its established programs to its new counties.
Through Big Brothers Big Sisters’ programs, they provide guidance, encouragement and positive role models for area youth.
The York office will continue to serve the two counties in a new location on Market Street in York. The organization cut the ribbon on the space this week.
“Our new office space is better suited for our growing team and expansion of our services,” said Marina Brown, director of the York & Adams County program.
Additionally, BBBS of South-Central PA will update its logo, website and marketing materials over the next few months.
BBBS of South-Central PA is seeking additional volunteers, partners and supporters to help with its now-expanded services. Those who are interested can visit their website.
