The Power of One

Sometimes, one person changes everything. 

One person who notices.
One person who listens.
One person who says, “I believe in you.”

For a young person facing adversatives, having someone in their corner means more than we know.

It can mean Feeling Seen instead of invisible;
Capable instead of uncertain;
Connected instead of alone.

That’s The Power of One. And at Big Brothers Big Sisters, we see it every day – life-changing mentorship that starts with one caring adult.
