I hope to make new relationships with potential partners and volunteers to develop the future of our community’s youth.
January Match of the Month
Big Sister Alexis and Little Sister Sharray have been matched since March 2021 and have become two peas in a pod as they have matched each other’s high energy and love of sisterhood.
Over the holiday break they enjoyed going out to dinner, playing with Alexis’ dog, opening Christmas gifts and making necklaces & bracelets. Alexis has striven to expose Sharray to a total experience of college life through exposing her to a variety of activities taking place on the ND campus, such as watching the band practice and seeing them perform at games, along with attending science and math projects held on campus.
It is noted that the entire family loves their Big Sister Alexis.
