By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community, BBBS is accountable for each child in the program achieving higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships, avoidance of risky behaviors and educational success.

Zia Davis is a New Mexico native who recently came back to Silver City. Her background is in education, especially social, emotional, and holistic education. She is a mom, wife, and queer advocate and is happy to have the opportunity to give back to her community as the new program specialist at Big Brothers Big Sisters in Grant and Luna Counties.

“I’m delighted that Zia will be sharing information about BBBS at our September meeting.  I’ve been a Big Sister for almost three years, and my Little Sister is a joy. Being a mentor has taught me so much about the positive effect of caring adults,” Damie Nelson, president of PFLAG Silver City, shared.
