What's new in June?

Big News

June | 2023

Our professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships support the social and emotional development needed for the youth we serve to build resilience, mental health, and well-being. These relationships will enrich the lives of youth in our communities and build brighter futures.

Founded in 1963, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass & Metrowest has supported children in our community through individualized mentoring programs for over 60 years.

Meet Aidan and Griffin

Griffin is a Big through our mentoring program with Holy Cross. He plays on the football team and as a team they volunteer their time as Bigs when they're off the field. Griffin was matched with Aidan who is graduating from 8th grade this year. We are so proud of Aidan for reaching his goals and getting accepted into Bay Path Vocational Technical High School. Aidan plans to study automotives and we know he'll do amazing! Congratulations to Aidan and all of our graduating Littles this Spring!

BBBS Celebrates Pride Month

June is Pride Month! Pride Month is an annual month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) history, and the history of gay rights and related civil rights movements.

Large numbers of LGBTQ+ youth are growing up at a deficit- facing difficult odds due to day-to-day experiences with societal stigma, victimization, bias, and rejection. Given such a landscape, there is a need for caring adults, advocates, and mentors now more than ever.

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass & Metrowest our goal is for all LGBTQ+ youth to have access to a safe and supportive mentoring relationship with a caring adult. We aim to be an agency that makes LGBTQ+ advocacy a fabric of our organization.

Framingham! Let's Erase the Wait!

Becoming a Big is more important now than ever as we all navigate the challenges and changes in our daily lives. Kids in your community need Bigs like you to bring support and instill confidence as we all navigate this challenging time.

Big Brothers Big Sisters serves young people from age eight through young adulthood in one-to-one mentoring friendships. Bigs and Littles hang out 2-3 times a month for a few hours doing normal, everyday activities, like seeing a movie, doing homework, playing games, going out to eat, or just hanging out!

Each match is supported by a dedicated Match Support Specialist who is always there to provide resources and support specific to the Little's age. With a Big in their life, Littles in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program are empowered to ignite their potential as they grow in their self-esteem, earn better grades, and develop a lifelong friendship with their Big.
