Kate, our Go Girls! Program Coordinator, had the chance to witness youth come together during her time as a Go Girls! mentor. “When you bring participants together at such a crucial age, you create a strong bond and develop unique connections that create friendships.”

Mentee, Maria, has felt super safe and supported, thanks to her relationship with her mentor, Renee. “I’m so glad that I have such a positive person in my life, who I can talk to, and who will help me with all my problems, and really just listen and be there for me, when no one has been. I’m so thankful that Big Sisters was able to provide me with that”

Mentee, Cindy, was happy to have someone there for her to help, when she felt like no one else was. “When I needed someone else to step in, Donna was there to lend a hand.”

Mentee, Patricia, is grateful for her mentor, Tina, to help build her self-esteem and confidence, to get her to a much better place in life. “If I didn’t have Tina, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today. I would have just been such a negative person and just wouldn’t care about life.”
