Seeking District Champions for the BBBSLI Annual Clothing Drive Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) is actively seeking motivated Student Champions in each district to help organize and lead our essential 2025/2026 High School Clothing Drive. If you enjoy supporting those in need and contributing to a better community for all, we encourage you to apply! Our District Champions will play a vital role in the drive's success by: Coordinating donation box location approvals within high schools and managing collection and logistics communications with our recycling partners at Savers. The clothing drive is a critical fundraiser. All donated gently used clothes and household items are sold to Savers, and 100% of the net proceeds are dedicated to funding BBBSLI’s vital youth mentoring programs across Long Island.
