The BIGS Program — Mentorship that makes “BIG” feel seen
Designed for middle and high school students, BIGS gives youth a safe space to speak up, build social–emotional strength, and practice real‑life skills. We partner with families and schools to grow mental strength, self‑love, self‑advocacy, and everyday readiness.
What BIGS builds
Practical, coachable skills your student can use the same day.
