Episode 5 is live 🎧✨

In honor of April’s focus on Youth & Community, we’re joined by Michelle Sink and Kaydee Tran from Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters serving Riley, Geary, Pottawatomie Counties to explore why connection matters so much for kids. From mentorship to belonging, this conversation dives into how strong communities help young people grow, thrive, and feel seen.

Because every child deserves a village—and sometimes, it starts with one meaningful connection.
