More than just creating art, “Painting with a Twist” was a celebration of connection, reminding us that mentoring is a canvas where the colors of guidance, support, and friendship blend beautifully. As we look back at these photographs, we see not only the artistic endeavors, but also the seeds of confidence, self-expression, and lifelong friendships.

National Mentoring Month extends the impact of these connections beyond a single afternoon. Thank you to all the young and old who contributed their hearts and creativity to “Painting with a Twist”. Not only have you created stunning works of art, but you have also painted a better future for yourself and your communities.

We encourage you to participate in mentoring beyond the month. Visit the Big Brothers Big Sisters website https://www.peace-caa.org/bbbs/ to learn more about how you can become a Big or a Little and help create your own mentoring masterpiece.

Let’s keep the colors of connection bright, not just in January, but all year long!

We’d like to thank our friends at Taste Of Syracuse, The Summit Federal Credit Union, and Tops Friendly Markets for a wonderful weekend of food, fun, and sponsorship for PEACE, Inc.’s Big Brothers Big Sisters Program. It was a great time, and we can’t wait until next year!
