BBBSO MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY
BBBSO is very active in our community. It is in collaboration with elementary and secondary schools and community centers and organizations that the organization offers its programs and adapts them as needed.
Positive feedback from parents and partners abounds and volunteer service offerings continue to grow.
