The event is intended for the high school seniors enrolled in our program to come together, bond with their peers, receive pertinent information and resources, and get motivated for the year ahead. This event welcomes them to our graduating cohort and gets them, as well as their Bigs and parents/guardians fully prepared for what to expect during the upcoming school year. In order to do this, we have invited a variety of community partners to table the event in order to provide resources and information to the High School Seniors in our program, their Bigs, and their parents/guardians. The evening will consist of dinner, a guest speaker, giveaways, and more. Parents/Guardians, Bigs, and Littles will have the opportunity to walk to each table during the event and gather any resources or information they find meaningful to them.
