After a long year of hard work and commitment with discussion and planning to bring a model program that will benefit our youth, we are finally proud to announce the kickoff of our, first ever in the country, The National Arab American Big Brothers and Big Sisters, in partnership with BBBS, Chicago Palestine Film Festival and Arab American Family Services (AAFS).
At AAFS, we believe that if we lay the foundation for strengthening the lives of our youth, offering guidance and understanding from an early age, we will only succeed with the mission of having successful, productive Arab Americans in the community, who will help better the lives of the people in the community and abroad. We are pleased to be pioneers in this adventure and are thankful to be working with such a great organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters.
We want to thank all of our mentors and mentees for taking part in this milestone and hope for many successful years ahead.
