Little Sister Shanelle & Big Sister Carly
Shanelle and Carly first met back in March 2022. Shanelle attends Girls Inc. of Worcester after school and Carly is a college student/athlete at the College of the Holy Cross.
During their meetings, they typically work on homework followed by some competitive board games: of which Monopoly is by far Shanelle’s favorite. They weren't able to get together over summer vacation, but once they did Shanelle and Carly picked back up again as if nothing had ever changed.
Hats off to an exemplary mentor-mentee connection and the two awesome young women who make it happen!

2023 Annual Meeting Recap |
On January 17th, we invited Bigs, Board Members, Advocates, and local public officials to join us in our downtown Worcester headquarters for our Annual Meeting. Guests received a general status report on all things BBBS, networked professionally, and experienced a powerful reading of an original poem by Worcester's
former Poet Laureate Mr. Juan Matos.
Following the meeting's primary festivities attendees mingled over delicious refreshments in our newly redecorated conference room.
Special thanks to our dedicated corporate sponsors, board members, staff, and of course the legendary Mr. Juan Matos for joining us in a celebration of another great year for BBBS and for investing in our mission to empower the youth in our community.
We look forward to seeing you next year!
