Meet Joni, a 12 year old girl who needs a special Big Sister to have fun and spend time with. Joni lives with her single mother and two siblings. Joni is described as truthful, direct, and steadfast in her convictions. Joni has a strong sense of right and wrong and will avidly discuss her thoughts and reasoning. She is also very compassionate and will stick up for her siblings.
Joni enjoys being physically active. She plays soccer and is involved with the Girl Scouts. Joni is a self proclaimed tomboy and not a “girlie girl”. A Big Sister who does not mind getting a little dirty would be a great fit for Joni. Joni struggles with her academics, math and reading are difficult for her.
