My husband and I are grateful that we live in a city that offers half a dozen alternatives for young people who do not choose, nor fit, into a public education system. Big Picture’s mentoring program is foundational, noteworthy and an avenue in which students are motivated to see their individual potential. Through the mentoring options, self-esteem rises, learning curves increase, healthy relationships develop and knowledge is attained about how local businesses function. Through this mentorship requirement, students are led to view a much larger and expansive “big picture.”

This grateful grandparent thanks Alain, Mannie, Jennie, Christopher, Emily, Dreher and all who make Big Picture a success story.
