Fifteen is the age when kids can go down the wrong road, getting into alcohol, drugs and other risky behaviors.
You can be the difference. Be there.
Mentors come in all ages, and from all kinds of backgrounds. This Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Anchorage match has been featured on TV commercials.
Anchorage’s When You Were 15 campaign hopes to:
- Encourage adults to be there for Alaska’s youth
- Ask all Alaskans to tell us their stories. Who made a difference in your life and how?
