Full Circle Mentorship: Representation & Resilience with Eugene

In this episode of the Empower Potential podcast, we sit down with Eugene, a Big Brother to Alvin and a featured story in our 2024 Impact Report. Eugene’s journey is a powerful testament to the longevity of BBBS, his story was so moving that it even sparked a reconnection with his own childhood Big Brother after years of silence. Eugene discusses the "brotherly rapport" he has built with Alvin, the importance of being a Black male role model, and how his identity as a gay Black man helps expand Alvin's worldview. From competitive races to personal "Big Brother" advice on skincare, Eugene shows us that mentorship is found in the big moments and the small ones alike. 🔗 Links & Resources: Become a Big: volunteer.bayareabigs.org Support the Next Generation: bbbsba.org/donate About BBBSBA: Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. #BBBSBA #EmpowerPotentialPod #MentorshipCycle #Representation #LGBTQ #SuccessStory #nonprofitpodcast
