Welcome to our newest staff member, Courtney Brady!
"I want to help others see and achieve their potential in life. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something because of where you are in life, or where you come from. Despite whatever odds are against you, you are capable of doing anything that you set your mind to." - Courtney, BBBS Cumberland County Program Manager
We're excited to have you on our team Courtney!

"Give people a call," suggested Little Sister Tsahai "because sometimes you need to have live conversation and just connect, especially since we've been deprived of social contact."
This morning, students and their Capital BlueCross mentors shared effective communication strategies for staying connected at work and school during COVID-19. Today was the first Beyond School Walls session of the school year and for many, it's the start of their fourth school year together!

Thanks to #COVID19, Littles are learning new skills from their Bigs, such as how to mail a letter. #BackToBasics
One such Big is Raina, a new volunteer that our staff matched with Little Sister Aubree last month. Raina recently shared with her Match Coach, Emily, that she did a no-contact drop-off of supplies (scissors, glue stick, lots of stickers, a few cards + envelopes, and postage stamps) to Aubree's house.
Raina proudly told Emily that she and Aubree did crafts together via video call and Raina says Aubree "finished one BEAUTIFUL card. :-)" During their next video call, Raina will teach Aubree to address an envelope and add postage, so she can mail it.
