With a shared love of ice-cream and mac and cheese, Aliya and Anijah are a perfect Big Brothers Big Sisters at the Y mentoring match.
Big Brothers Big Sisters at the Y is a mentoring program for youth ages 7 – 17 designed to provide consistent, caring, positive role modeling and supportive guidance.
After being introduced five years ago when Anijah was just 11, this adventurous duo has spent many a weekend strolling around Wyman Park in Baltimore City or trying to find the best hot chocolate in Baltimore. “It has been amazing getting to know Anijah over the years. We’ve become such good friends.”
As well as having a great time together, Anijah believes that the mentorship has helped her learn how to talk to people.
We look forward to seeing what these two get up to next! There are multiple ways you can get involved in mentoring at the Y. Please visit our website for more information.
