About Our CEO
Marcus Allen Chief Executive Officer
Marcus Allen became the first African-American CEO in BBBS Independence Region’s celebrated 100-year history in April of 2013. He has significantly grown the Agency as measured by number of children served, revenue generation, and programs offered. As a result, he now manages the largest one-to-one mentoring program in the Commonwealth and the third largest Big Brothers Big Sisters agency in the nation.
Allen is a visionary leader, spending much of his time and effort defining how to have an even greater impact on over 200,000 children facing adversity in the Greater Philadelphia region.
