"You have been great. You make a difference for Eileen. She is proud to have you as a Big, and you should hear the pride in her voice and the delight when she talks about you, her relationship with you, about Rachel, about the things you have done with her. If only you could hear from behind a door the tone in her voice when she describes these things...." Mom, Caroline on Big Sister Carla.

“When I received you as a Big Sister I realized how lucky I was but I never told you. You helped me through the worst days of my life and shared the good days with me. You are my best friend and that will never leave my heart.”

"For me the most valuable part of being a mentor was the opportunity to connect with a young person one-on-one. I feel being a mentor has allowed me to be a part of something larger. I honestly feel that every part of my experience with being a mentor has been valuable." Matt, In School Mentor

“My father died when I was about 8 years old. I knew I missed something special. I’m retired now and have some time so I think it’s my responsibility to be a decent role model to a child. It costs nothing but a bit of time - and it’s lots of fun!”
Alston, In-School Mentor

“Dear Big Brothers Big Sisters,
I really love my Big Sister, she is just what I always wanted in a friend that I could call my own. She means the world to me. I want to “Thank You” for giving me such a wonderful Big Sister.” Little Sister, Angela
