We matched Big Sister Ashley and Little Sister Rowan in April and they connected immediately. They overtook the conversation, discussing activity ideas including Hershey Park, ice cream trips, concerts and Color Me Mine fun. They then turned our pictures into an impromptu photoshoot! 😊 And even got Rowan’s mom Felicia and stepdad David to jump in!

Little moments make a BIG difference. When Mylaysha was introduced to her Big Sister Christa, the first thing she asked to do was go to Starbucks because she had never been there.
This #ThankYouThursday, we’d like to recognize The Starbucks Foundation for their commitment to advancing opportunity for all. Our agency recently received funding from the Starbucks Foundation to support one of our newest JEDI initiatives - the Youth Rise: Stand Together mentoring program, connecting youth with BIPOC community leaders.
