Let's check in on Shelley and Jordyn. This match h Let's check in on Shelley and Jordyn. This match has grown into a supportive, consistent relationship that benefits both of them. Jordyn enjoys having a Big Sister who listens, shows up weekly, and offers a calm, comfortable space to talk about school, friends, and life. She consistently reports feeling safe, happy, and relaxed during their visits, sharing that their time together is “really fun” and that she enjoys their conversations and lunches. For Shelley, the match has provided the chance to build a meaningful connection with a young person, and she remains committed, engaged, and reflective about Jordyn’s need. Both Big and Little gain from the steady routine, positive conversations, and growing trust that define their match. Thank you EdFinancial for your continued support of our VILLAGE
Introducing our Littles to new experiences is one Introducing our Littles to new experiences is one of the most meaningful parts of what we do. Every activity, every laugh, and every shared moment reminds us that IT TAKES A VILLAGE to help young people grow, explore, and thrive. We’re grateful for a community that shows up. Supporting, guiding, and celebrating these Littles as they discover the world around them
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
