OUR LITTLE SISTERS

WE SERVED 1,380 GIRLS THROUGHOUT GREATER BOSTON IN 2021.

Little Sisters are matched between the ages of 7 to 15, and their mentoring relationships are formally supported through the age of 20. At that time, a Little Sister then graduates from our program and can become a Big Sister.
