You can feel the energy when thousands of people come together around one purpose: helping young people reach their full potential. 💫

This week has been filled with new perspectives, shared successes, and reminders that mentorship changes lives in every community. We’re excited to bring these ideas home and continue building brighter futures for the youth we serve.

Atlanta, you’ve been good to us. More recaps coming soon!

Thanks to partners like the United Way Lebanon County our impact in the county has seen substantial growth. In 2025 we were able to serve 280 children. Our one-to-one mentoring programs can be found in 5 Lebanon County school districts and our Bigs In Blue program is well established, with 10 police officers from a variety of county Police Departments matched with Littles in school.

We’re grateful for their support and commitment to our mission in serving the young people in our community.
