On this day in 1865, the final enforcement of freedom reached Galveston, Texas - marking what we now celebrate as Juneteenth, or Black Independence Day. Today, we honor this powerful moment in history, celebrate Black freedom and resilience, and reaffirm our commitment to building a more just and hopeful future together. 💚

Bigger together! ✨ Today at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America National Conference, we heard inspiring messages on connection and the impact we can make when communities unite from Artis Stevens, President & CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, and Kathy Waller, Executive Director of the Atlanta Committee for Progress.

Meaningful change happens when people choose to work together. Hearing how civic leaders and community partners are creating opportunities through the Atlanta Committee for Progress left us energized and reminded us that mentorship truly takes a village. 💚

And BIG bonus: we also got to celebrate the Mayor’s birthday today! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Amber Chavarria and her 3-year anniversary - what an incredible journey! 💚
After joining as a SkillBridge intern following her retirement from the Marines, we knew we had to keep her on the team. Now, she’s often the first voice people hear when learning about our Richmond and Tri-Cities programs and plays a central role in keeping everything running smoothly.
Swipe for some shoutout from the team - because we couldn’t let this milestone pass without celebrating all she means to us! ✨
