Vineland, NJ – November 16, 2022: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties (BBBS) welcomes Yolise Sosa as their new Enrollment and Matching Specialist. Yolise is passionate about justice, education, and advocating for children.

Yolise, a native of South Jersey, grew up in a tight-knit Puerto Rican and Dominican family. Her family prioritized education and involvement in community organizations and programs. While pursuing her bachelor’s degree at attending La Salle University, Yolise volunteered as a Big Sister and found advocating for children extremely fulfilling. After graduating, Yolise worked as a Child Enrichment Coordinator for DREAM, a mentoring youth program. She is now pursuing her Master’s in Social Work at Rutgers University.
