#MatchMondays Scarlett had a hard time making fri #MatchMondays Scarlett had a hard time making friends. Her grandparents wanted her to have a friendship fostered in a safe and consistent environment to heal and to grow. She needed a home away from home, not just one activity here and there, but rather, a consistent friend who could share activities and outings. Alicia joined the mentoring community because she wanted to give back to kids who were overcoming similar experiences to her own. They had an instant connection. They have both found someone to talk to and relate to. Alicia explains that many of their childhood experiences are similar, as their relationships with their parents, being raised by their grandparents, and both having the responsibility of being the oldest sibling. They also both have a deep love for art and everything creative. Through art, Scarlett can cope with stress by focusing on modeling clay, drawing, fashion, and writing, rather than the feelings that overwhelm her. Through Alicia's consistency, support, and overall dedication towards showing up for Scarlett, Scarlett has known true friendship. She has learned to trust herself, and others and make intentional efforts to work on herself. Scarlett and Alicia’s full story was shared in this month’s e-newsletter. Stay connected and read about how matches like Scarlett and Alicia are igniting potential. https://mailchi.mp/86181d14c441/bbbsak

It’s time to make an impact. Time to be #Bigger It’s time to make an impact. Time to be #BiggerTogether. Time to defend potential. Time to stand up for the 172 kids waiting for a mentor of their own. It’s time. And they need a person with commitment and compassion. A person who sees the best in others. A person who believes a Little’s potential is truly great. Know anybody who fits that bill? Could be a friend, family, neighbor, or co-worker. But most importantly, it could be you. You have a story to share, and guidance to give. You can show a Little the true reach of their potential. You just need a few hours a month. It’s time to sign up and make a difference in someone’s life. This might just be the spark a Little needs to believe in themselves. Let’s bring 172 down to zero today. It’s time. Become a Big. bbbsak.org/become-a-big/
Congratulations Ashlee! Ashlee graduated from Val Congratulations Ashlee! Ashlee graduated from Valdez High School. This fall she’s planning on attending UAF and obtaining her degree in Social Work. When Emily was asked about her 10-year match, she shared “Being able to see the growth in our match always makes me feel so grateful for being who I am. Emily not only watched me change into the woman I am today but she shaped me not only in my actions but in my heart as well.” Emily, Ashlee’s Big Sister, is this year’s Big of the Year. #LittlesGraduate #BBBSAK
