💚 Sometimes, the smallest words leave the biggest impact.

A simple “I believe in you,” “You’ve got this,” or “I'm proud of you” can mean more than we realize. For youth navigating new experiences, having someone who consistently encourages them can help build confidence, inspire growth, and remind them that they aren't alone.

We believe mentorship is about showing up, listening, and reminding youth of the incredible potential they carry.

Never underestimate the power of your words. You never know how much someone might need to hear them.

Big Sister Michelle and Little Sister Jezabel are making the most of their time together, one fun adventure at a time! From getting creative with arts and crafts projects like homemade snow globes and a dollhouse to enjoying outings at concerts and the Ventura County Fair, these two are building memories and a friendship that keeps growing.

It's the little moments, shared experiences, and having someone in your corner that make being a Big so special!

Last week’s Spooky Tales & Tea was a hauntingly good time! We had a wonderful turnout and enjoyed an evening filled with community storytellers sharing their own personal paranormal experiences. From unexplained encounters to mysterious happenings, there was no shortage of chills, thrills, and fascinating stories!

The atmosphere was cozy, the vibes were perfectly seasonal, and the company made it all the more special. Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared a little mystery with our BBSVC community!

A special thank you to Lucky Dog Coffee for hosting us and Readings by Susan for adding a little extra magic to the evening with tarot card readings!

Until next time... keep your eyes open, your tea warm, and your spooky stories ready. You never know what might be lurking around the corner! 👻

Since being matched in March 2026, Little Sister Gia’lyn and Big Sister Jamie have been building a meaningful bond through shared experiences, new discoveries, and plenty of laughter. Whether they’re working on science projects, bowling, visiting the beach, or simply being silly together, they make space for curiosity, creativity, and fun.

Gia’lyn’s grandmother describes them as “two peas in a pod,” a reflection of the natural connection they’ve developed. Through consistency, encouragement, and genuine friendship, Jamie gives Gia’lyn the space to explore her interests, try new things, and feel comfortable being herself.

Their story is a beautiful reminder that mentorship doesn’t have to begin with a grand gesture. Sometimes, the greatest impact comes from showing up, listening, and being there, one moment at a time.

Every connection has the potential to make a lasting difference. Learn how you can become a Big and help create meaningful moments for youth in our community! 💚

We’re so grateful to have Jon & Tami with us on this journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate with them on November 7!

Thank you for helping us chart a course toward a BIG future.
