The Beautifully EmpowHERed & Authentic Growth Wellness Group Big Sis Little Sis Program is a mentorship program designed to foster supportive relationships between high school girls (Big Sis) and junior high girls (Little Sis). This program provides young girls with a sisterly figure to talk to, share experiences, and navigate life’s challenges together. Through monthly events and community-based activities, Big Sis and Little Sis pairs form meaningful connections that encourage confidence, personal growth, and empowerment.
