A Message From Nick Hagglund
In my own life, I’ve seen just how powerful it can be to have someone in your corner.
My career in professional soccer has been shaped by coaches, teammates, family members, and mentors who believed in me. (Sometimes at moments when I wasn’t sure I believed in myself.)They challenged me, encouraged me, held me accountable, and helped me see what I was capable of becoming. Every kid deserves to have people like that in their life.
That’s what I love about Big Brothers Big Sisters. It isn’t just about spending time with a young person. It’s about showing up consistently. It’s about listening, encouraging, and being someone they know they can count on. Sometimes one positive relationship can completely change the direction of a kid’s life!
In Support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati
We create life-changing friendships by matching adult mentors with at-risk Tri-State children in need of positive role models. We partner with parents and guardians, volunteers and others in the community, and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program. Statistics show these Little Brothers and Sisters have higher aspirations, greater confidence, do better in school and avoid risky behaviors.
