Freshly graduated from high school, Allie is headed to UNC Chapel Hill

Little Sister Allie and Big Sister Helen

Little Sister Allie is graduating from Early College and is headed to UNC Chapel Hill on a full four-year scholarship! She’s planning to major in environmental science and biology.

She and her Big Sister Helen Byrd, matched April 17, 2008, are BBBS Polk County’s longest running match. And now she’s off to college during the pandemic.

“My senior year went from 100-0 in one week. So experience it while you can,” Allie said.
