let's check back in on Chris and Cason! This mat let's check back in on Chris and Cason! This match has grown into the kind of steady, meaningful connection that makes all the difference. Since being matched in September, Cason has become more talkative, more confident, and more comfortable engaging with adults — something multiple Match Support Team members have noticed! Weekly games of basketball, football, and board games have become their shared rhythm, giving Cason a space where he feels safe, seen, and encouraged. For Chris, the impact is just as real; he consistently shows up because he sees Cason light up when he walks in, and he knows that those moments of trust, laughter, and small conversation are laying important groundwork. This match is thriving because of consistency, patience, and the kind of genuine connection that helps a young person grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Thank you Mesa Associates for your continued support to grow and support our VILLAGE @mesaassociates
The moments of guidance, patience, and connection The moments of guidance, patience, and connection that shape the leaders, creators, and change‑makers of tomorrow. These everyday lessons—like tying a tie, building confidence, or simply being present—are the foundation our Littles will stand on as they grow into their own futures. Our Littles are that future, and every intentional moment spent with them matters. While seasons may change, the need for mentors never does. That’s why I’m committed to encouraging more people to step up, show up, and pour into the next generation. Every small moment leads to a Big Impact—far beyond what we often see in the moment. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could make a difference, here’s your sign. You absolutely can. Our village needs more Bigs. Our Littles deserve them. Be a part of the village. Be a Big. #ItTakesAVillage #BigDraft #BBBS #MentorshipMatters #InvestInTheFuture
