Pick a door
A door for each part of life — the everyday stuff nobody teaches. Begin with the one that feels like yours today.
Good to know.
The honest stuff, up front — who reads what, what’s private, and what this space can and can’t do.
Messages are read by Claudia Garcia, the founder of Big Sister Academy.
Messages land in the Big Sister Academy inbox at claudia@bigsisteracademy.com, and Claudia reads them herself.
The box doesn’t ask for a name or email, and you never have to give one.
No. There are no accounts here, no scores, no streaks, and no tracking of what you open or read.
Take what you need; leave what you don’t.
Please read this one slowly, because it matters: the box is not watched around the clock, and nobody can reply to an anonymous message.
If a message says someone is in danger, Claudia may need to share it with people whose job is keeping people safe.
If you need help right now, the fastest real help is the I Need Help Right Away page, or call 911.
Your board lives on this phone. Nobody can see it but you — save a picture to keep it forever.
One honest extra: if you share this phone with other people, they could open the browser and see it — saving a picture and clearing the board keeps it yours.
No. It’s a free life-skills space made by a person — not therapy, not medical or legal advice, and not an emergency service.
Topics give general information. For your specific situation, a trusted adult, a counselor, or the resources on the help page can do what a website can’t.
Big Sister Academy was founded by Claudia Garcia in Louisville, Kentucky.
The topics were shaped by listening to people who grew up in foster care about what they wish someone had taught them.
“Big Sister” is the spirit of the place — Claudia is not your big sister, and this space never replaces family, caseworkers, or the people in your life.
Girls and young women — anyone who was never really taught this stuff and is figuring it out as she goes. That includes girls in foster care and young women who have aged out of care — the topics here were shaped by listening to people who grew up in care — and it was never only for them. If you’re finding your way, you’re in the right place.
Yes — free for girls, and free for youth programs, schools, and community groups.
No paywall, and no upsell waiting at the end.
