Maria and Sayuri

There are lots of fun things mentors and mentees can do out in the community!  Maria was matched with her mentee, Sayuri, over a year ago through Big Brothers Big Sisters Greater Pittsburgh.  The pair enjoys a variety of activities together and, most recently, hit the ice to try skating.  "It's different...it's scary but fun," said Sayuri.  

 

"It's really important for both the mentee and mentor to spend time together," said Maria.  "We were having trouble keeping our balance, but we got it.  We found the wall, we found out how to stop...just holding each other's hands!"

 

Mentors can encourage their mentees to try new things and one of the best ways to do that is to try something new together!
