    24. Learning to Do-It-Yourself Like a Pro, with Betsy and Aaliyah
    Apr 24 2024
    When Betsy bought her first house a few years ago, she decided it would be a practical adventure to do some of the renovations herself. And, fortunately, she had a perfect carpenter's assistant waiting at the ready in her little sister Aaliyah. Together, they've swung hammers, worked miter saws and built noodle boards. And in the course of learning new skills and expanding their horizons, they've built a remarkable friendship as well.

    23. Voices of the Mission: a former Little, a Big, and a Parent Share Insights with BBBS Leadership
    Mar 27 2024
    In order to make sure that key perspectives are represented in its decision making, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee Board of Directors appoints three "Voices of the Mission" to its membership. These leaders represent the Littles, the Bigs and the parents of Littles, and help the board understand how their policy-making impacts the BBBS mission on a granular level. So in this episode, we meet the current "Voices of the Mission:" Christiana, a former Little in the program; Chloe, a current Big; and Taheréh, a parent of a Little. They'll discuss what they hope to be able to contribute to the organization, what they've learned about mentoring, and what are some of the questions they've always wanted to ask other stakeholders within the BBBS ecosystem.

    Feb 28 2024
    Years ago, when they matched with their Little Brother DayDay, Charles and Sarah were taken aback by how shy he was. Now a bombastic high schooler, it suffices to say that DayDay has really come out of his shell. But with the love and support of mentors like Charles and Sarah, and dozens of horizon-expanding experiences along the way, it's no surprise that this young man has found his voice. And this trio is now celebrating their selection as BBBS of Metro Milwaukee's Couples Match of the Year.
