Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami

It’s that time of year again, our Littles are turning their tassels, chasing their dreams, and taking the next BIG step toward their futures.

Today, we’re celebrating Isaiah Seay, whose journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when determination, opportunity, and mentorship come together.

A senior at Miami Lakes Educational Center, Isaiah graduates with an incredible 4.606 GPA and will attend Florida A&M University this fall to pursue a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology.

From a quiet sixth grader with dreams of becoming an engineer to a confident leader ready to take on the future, Isaiah has spent years growing through hard work, service, and perseverance.

Through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami, he gained exposure to professionals, developed leadership skills, and discovered a passion for electronics engineering that helped shape his career path.

We are incredibly proud of all Isaiah has accomplished and can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make as he continues pursuing his dream of becoming an electronics engineer.

Congratulations, Isaiah! Your future is bright, and we’re honored to have been part of your journey 🎓💚

What an incredible day at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami HQ. Canadian soccer star Dayne St. Clair stopped by to spend time with our little soccer fans 🇨🇦⚽️!

Dayne, the newest goalkeeper for Inter Miami and the Canada National Team, spent time with our littles, sharing his journey, answering their questions, and signing artwork for them. Moments like these create lasting inspiration and show our kids what’s possible with hard work and dedication.

Thank you, Dayne, for taking the time to pour into our future leaders and athletes. Your presence made a BIG impact and inspired our youth in a powerful way! 💚

We’re cheering you on all the way to the 2026 FIFA World Cup! 🏆🇨🇦

Last week, we were honored to be welcomed into the home of Ken and Adriana Wellar for “Evening with the Wellars” in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami.

Ken and Adriana are dedicated BIGS, with Ken mentoring for over 10 years and even climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for our mission. Their commitment continues to inspire our entire community.

Grateful to everyone who joined us for an evening filled with connection, purpose, and support for our youth. It was truly a room full of great people coming together to make a difference wherever they can.

April is National Volunteer Month and there’s no better time to make a difference. 💚

Right now, there are incredible kids in our community still waiting for a mentor to show up for them. You could be that person!

Becoming a BIG costs nothing and doesn’t require a huge time commitment, just a few hours once a month, either during or after work. That’s it. And in that time, you can create a meaningful connection that can change a little’s life.

Thank you Brandon for being BIG.
