Little Brother Tony and Big Brother Austin have been matched in BBBSC’s Pikes Peak Community-based Mentoring Program for four and a half years.
Austin has become a trustworthy friend who Tony can talk to for the support he needs. They have developed a common bond over music and are actually in a band together and play regularly! They enjoy their time together practicing for the band but also talk about other things in Tony’s life like school, work, and learning to drive.
Tony is a junior in high school and would like to attend college in Germany and study biogenetics. Austin has been a consistent source of encouragement for Tony and appreciates the special friendship they have developed. According to Austin, “We were a match made in heaven for Pikes Peak and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado. Tony is a musical soul brother.”
