High school boys talk with junior high boys for the first Brother to Brother meeting on campus, Oct. 9.

Brother to Brother is for high school boys to mentor junior high boys. Participants go through an application process to join.

The program helps junior high boys connect and and bond with older boys. It also keeps high school students accountable since they are a role model to younger students.

Mark Pimentel shares what he enjoys about being in Brother to Brother.

“I like being able to connect with a younger student,” Pimentel said. “I also like to cheer them up when things get hard and help them feel more comfortable at school. Guiding them with their walk with God and encouraging them through their struggles is a big part of Brother to Brother that I love.”

Sister to Sister is the girl program of Brother to Brother. This allows HS girls oppurtunities to share advice and befriend junior high girls. 

Terry Richards is the leader of Brother to Brother. Hope Villines is the leader for Sister to Sister.
