Lace Up & Link Up: The BIG Hike Celebration at the Lake of the Isles

Special Event - Hike with BBBS!

📍 Lake of the Isles Park - 2500 Lake of the Isles Pkwy E, Minneapolis, MN 55416 | Saturday, July 26 | Time: 11AM - 1PM

From June 27 to July 20th, Seth Anderson, Manager of Volunteer Recruitment at Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities, is embarking on The Big Hike: a 300-mile Superior Hiking Trail to spotlight the power of mentorship and highlight the need for more male mentors, as boys in our program often wait the longest for a match.

Join Seth, in-person, alongside other matches for a fun, casual loop around the lake as we celebrate his 300-mile hike! We’ll bring the snacks, good vibes, and maybe a few surprises.

All hiking levels are welcome. Wear comfy shoes and bring water!

Seth will lead the hike and facilitate conversations and open dialogue on his experience taking on a 300 mile hike, the methaphorical comparisons of mentorship and hiking , and the need for male mentors and the crucial role they play in the development of youth on their journey to adulthood.
