This month, we are happy to give a special shout-out to the College of the Holy Cross' women's Volleyball team! For over a decade now, the team has dedicated their free time and efforts outside of the classroom and off the court to mentoring our amazing Littles. Once a week, the team heads over to Girls, Inc in Worcester and meets with Littles who are participating in an after-school program.
They spend time together playing board games, doing crafts, reading, or whatever activities they choose! The Littles love having a friend and role model that they get to spend consistent time with each week.
To Holy Cross, Girl’s Inc., and all of the amazing Bigs and Littles involved-- THANK YOU! Team BBBS is so lucky to have you as our partners to build a brighter future for our youth: the leaders of tomorrow.

MYSTEAM Hallow-Steam Party was a Spooktacular Success! |
The MYSTEAM Team is so proud to share that our first ever “Hallow-STEAM Party” was a huge success, with over 16 matches in attendance, as well as some family and friends. From making glow-in-the-dark slime to candy corn catapults, matches had plenty of fun (and educational) activities to keep them busy. With too many amazing costumes to count, spooky vibes, and an awesome group of matches, it was truly a night to remember. Considering how much fun we had this time around, we can’t wait to throw an even bigger and better Hallow-STEAM Party in 2023! |
