Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
August 2014 - May 2022
I had the honor of volunteering at Big Brothers Big Sisters, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life!
I mentored Cartez from the time he was in 6th grade until he graduated from Grandview High School. We met every two weeks for eight years, participating in a variety of activities that included:
*Going out to dinner
*Watching movies
*Visiting colleges
*Attending his track meets
*Having dinner with his family
We still have a relationship, and he knows I am a phone call away if he ever needs anything.
