Announcements

Virtual Career Exposure Workshops

HFY’s Career Exposure Workshops take place on the 2nd Thursday of each month & give 8th–12th grade scholars the chance to hear from professionals about different careers, pathways, and real-world advice. Big Sibs are welcome to attend with their Little Sibs or encourage them to join!

Share Your Big Sib Story

We would love to hear from Big Sibs about your mentoring experience! As HFY continues recruiting new volunteer mentors, we may use Big Sib reflections, stories, and quotes to help show prospective volunteers what mentoring can look like and why it matters.

This form is completely optional, and you can answer as many or as few questions as you’d like. We’d be grateful to hear from as many Big Sibs as possible!

Tell your story here!

1-on-1 Tracking

All Big Sibs are required to track any 1-on-1 events that they complete with their Little Sib. Any activity that helps to build your connection with your Little Sib is considered a 1-on-1, we've copied a few examples below:

In-person, socially distanced outings: Going on a walk, playing basketball in the park, cooking/baking together
Virtual Connections: Zoom/Facetime calls, virtual cooking competition, Netflix watch party, video gameplay
- - Please feel free to lump all virtual connections (texts, phone calls, video calls, etc.) that occur across the month together in a single submission
School Events: sports games, science fairs, plays/concerts

Big Sibs are asked to log their 1-on-1 activities using the form below. Make sure to submit your 1-on-1 activities before the last day of the month .
