Afton from Big Brothers Big Sisters will be joining May’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 May 3rd from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the OutFront Kalamazoo office.
