Big Brothers / Big Sister Collaborative
Advisor: George Gallien (864-7921)
The Big Brothers/Big Sisters Collaborative is a student organization that allows Loyola students to become a mentor for a local elementary school student. Loyola students connect with their "littles," assisting them in their school work, playing games with them, and helping guide them through the challenges of life. It is an unique one-on-one relationship that positively impacts the lives of both students, and promotes the Ignatian values of respect, service, shared discernment, care of the whole person and appreciation of things both great and small!
