✨in April, Laurie Hipwell spoke with our after-school program about what it means to grow up - and the importance of hygiene and self-care.

Students walked away with bags filled with hygiene & grooming essentials, along with knowledge they can use every day.

Laurie is a dedicated Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in Cody and volunteers as mentor in our program, bringing both professional expertise and a genuine passion for supporting young people in our community.

We’re grateful for her time, her mentorship & the care she shows to our community. 💙

Coach McFadden and some Cody Broncs football players joined us at Bright Futures last month! 🏈

Coach McFadden asked the kids to pick ONE WORD to define a goal or dream they had. Then he had them write down three steps on the other side of the card that they could take to make that goal a reality. We finished strong with call-outs, pounds & a better understanding of what teamwork is all about.

🙌🏻 Big thanks to the Bronc football team for joining us!

🙏 A huge thank you to Bargain Box Ministry & the Mission Committee of Christ Episcopal Church for their generous support of Bright Futures Mentoring - especially our One-to-One program.

✨ Through your generosity, mentors are able to meet with mentees over lunch - sharing conversation, encouragement & learning moments like these.

These relationships matter. And so does your support. Thank you. 💛

✨Last week, our After School program went ice skating with the help of the team at . Many of the kids were on skates for the first time and had the chance to practice, ask questions and spend time with each other on the ice.

After skating, we shared pizza and worked on basic table manners and etiquette. 🍽️

🙏Thank you to and for supporting our program and our kids.
