Afton from Big Brothers Big Sisters will be joining April’s Proud Families Caregivers Group to share information about Big Pride, a program that pairs LGBTQIA+ youth (called “Littles”) with affirming adult mentors (called “Bigs”)! Join us to learn more about becoming a “Big” to a local LGBTQIA+ young person, or to get your child involved as a “Little”!

This event will take place on April 5th from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Follow this link to join the info session via Google Meet: http://meet.google.com/ize-pagw-ooq
