Despite the rainy weather, the energy was high at the 34th annual Rodman Ride for Kids! 🚴♀️ This year’s goal is to raise $100,000 to support our mission to provide mentorship to local youth. We’re thrilled to be almost 60% of the way there, but still pushing to reach our target! - Donate here! (https://lnkd.in/eEDwcB5X) With about 650 children currently matched with mentors and 100 still on the waitlist, your support is more crucial than ever. The funds raised will directly enhance our programs, empowering children with the guidance and support they need to thrive. Thank you to everyone who participated and continues to champion our mission. Read the article WCVB released about the Ride here: https://lnkd.in/eTfrVEiW

Together, we empower youth to realize their potential.
About us
Together, we empower youth to realize their potential. By creating professionally supported mentoring relationships, we defend that potential 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 50 years. We reach the children who need us most through strong partnerships with local schools and youth development programs, and with the support of community volunteers, many coming from local colleges and corporations. Volunteers serve as mentors (Bigs) to children (Littles) who are living in poverty, come from single-parent households, or face other types of adversity. Bigs and Littles meet weekly for activities that might include working on homework, attending a sporting event, taking a hike or walk, cooking a healthy meal, doing a science experiment, and so much more. The essential activity is quality, uninterrupted time between a reliable, caring mentor and a child in need of additional adult support. Mentors are a consistent adult presence in the lives of mentees celebrating their successes, facing challenges with them and helping them reach their full potential.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Massachusetts Bay Community College for inviting us to take part in the recent Strategic Partners Feedback Meeting. It was a valuable opportunity to share our insights and discuss the future of our collective work. We left the meeting feeling inspired by MassBay's commitment to growth and community impact, and it’s clear that our missions align closely in striving to create opportunities for young people. It’s through collaborations like this that we can make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. We are excited to continue this partnership with MassBay and look forward to building an even brighter future together. #BeBig
