Big sister / be the you you needed

There are hundreds of Little Sisters in Boston still waiting to be paired with a Big. To show the women of Boston that a little effort goes a long way to a girl in need, we asked women to share one small piece of advice they wish someone gave to them while growing up. After all, that's all it takes to be a Big - a little wisdom and a little love. 

The results far exceeded the expectations of the Big Sister organization. On the day of the event, we received dozens of inquiries from women interested in becoming Big Sisters, captured over 50 interviews, engaged with 900 people via Facebook,  and received 5,763 impressions and 115 engagements on Twitter - no small feat for a tiny local event. Most importantly, we contributed to helping Boston's young women grow, thrive, and learn from women who paved the way for them to succeed.
