Introducing the Big Sister/Little Sister Program One of the founding principles of the International Women of Indiana (IWI) has been to provide support to international women as they embark on their journey in the Hoosier state, particularly as they adjust to life in central Indiana. In alignment with this mission, we are thrilled to introduce the Big Sister/Little Sister program. A Program to Foster Connections and Support The Big Sister/Little Sister program is designed to enrich the experiences of newly arrived international women (Little Sisters) by connecting them with seasoned members of our community (Big Sisters). This one-on-one relationship provides a unique opportunity for Little Sisters to establish a personal connection and build relationships with those who have already made Indiana their home. How the Program Works 1. Big Sisters: We invite IWI members to step forward as Big Sisters, committing to a year-long partnership in the program. Big Sisters will be matched with a Little Sister and maintain regular contact, through simple gestures like text messages, coffee meet-ups, or attending IWI events together. 2. Little Sisters: We invite newly arrived international women to join the Little Sisters. Get Involved! 1. If you are interested in becoming a Big Sister or if you have any questions about the program, please reach out to Becky Henn. Your involvement can make a significant difference in the lives of international women as they navigate their new home and build lasting friendships. 2. If you are a new member and are interested in being partnered with a Big Sister as a Little Sister, please contact Becky. We are here to support and welcome you into our vibrant community.
