March | 2023

Our professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships support the social and emotional development needed for the youth we serve to build resilience, mental health, and well-being. These relationships will enrich the lives of youth in our communities and build brighter futures.

Founded in 1963, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass & Metrowest has supported children in our community through individualized mentoring programs for over 60 years.

Little Sofia & Big Erika

We are excited to introduce one of our newer matches, Sofia and Erika! Sofia and Erika were matched at our Corporate-Site mentoring program with TJX Companies. They were matched last December and are enjoying getting to know each other.

Each week they've enjoyed doing a different activity. Erika recalls a favorite being the question jar activity where they took turns pulling out a question that they each answered. She said it sparked conversation and helped them get to know each other. Sofia especially enjoyed playing a round of Family Feud and the Simon Says memory game. We look forward to watching this new match become great friends and continue to build their relationship.
