At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound (BBBSPS), we are dedicated to fostering meaningful mentorships that empower youth to realize their full potential. Our CEO, Alonda Williams, recently delivered an inspiring TEDx talk titled “The Ripple Effect of Mentoring,” where she delved into the profound economic and societal impacts of mentorship.
In her talk, Alonda emphasized that mentoring is a catalyst for lasting change that benefits everyone. She shared about her own life journey and how mentoring created a ripple effect in her life. She also shared compelling data to illustrate how mentorship not only transforms the lives of mentees but also enriches mentors and strengthens communities.
Alonda’s insights resonate deeply with our mission at BBBSPS. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and mentorship plays a pivotal role in making that possible. By connecting youth with caring adult volunteer mentors, we create a ripple effect that extends beyond individual relationships, fostering a more vibrant and supportive community.
We invite you to watch Alonda’s TEDx talk to gain a deeper understanding of the transformative power of mentorship. Her passion and commitment to this cause are truly inspiring, and we hope it motivates you to join us in making a difference.
