CHANGE THEIR WORLD. CHANGE THE WORLD.

If we take a moment and think back to when we were growing up, most of us would probably remember someone being there for us – in our corner. Someone who was always ready to give us advice, support, encouragement, and all the other things we needed to help us become who we are today.

Unfortunately, when thousands of kids living in New York today look over their shoulder, there’s no one standing in their corner.

That’s why we believe having a Big in their life is so important. Through one-to-one mentorship, our Bigs fill that empty corner in a Little’s life with friendship, caring, understanding, and guidance. They share life experiences and new experiences. But mostly, they help them see that the world they’re living in now doesn’t have to be their world tomorrow.

When Littles know they have someone standing in their corner, it can really change their lives. For some, that means going from barely passing grades to being accepted to college. For others, it’s being exposed to career options their parents never had. Or it’s having a friend to help them understand a new language and explore a new life in America.

We wouldn’t be able to put a single Big in a Little’s corner if it weren’t for all of the volunteers, community partners, and donors we have in our corner. Because of their willingness to help, we’re able to change the world for thousands of New York City kids every year.

And when you help change their world, you help change the world.

“I THINK WHEN THE LITTLES COME TO SEE AN OFFICE LIKE DELOITTE OR“ “ANYWHERE THEY SAY, GEE I COULD FIT IN HERE. I COULD WORK IN AN OFFICE. I LOVE THAT ASPECT OF IT.” _ ERIN

Like most of the Littles that participate in the Big Brothers Big So how did Erin do as a Big Sister?

In fact for many Littles, the first time they see the parents or people in my neighborhood. She gave me a broader inside of an office is the first day they meet their workplace Big. view of what the world is like.”

According to Lai that moment had quite an impact, “It was Even though some time has passed and Erin continued to really different than what I thought it would be. I thought it mentor other Littles after Lai graduated, Lai and Erin still find would be intimidating but it wasn’t… it was like, okay this is time to get together on a regular basis. something that I can definitely do… and it made me think a lot more about my future.”

Lai thinks it was fate that brought her and Erin together twenty years ago. “I wasn’t even supposed to be in the program. The school picked who would go to the seminar and I wasn’t chosen.” Lai continues, “But my friends were there, so I cut in and sat in on it and that’s how I got to go.”

Erin was also excited about the prospect of participating in the Mentoring Program at her office. “I was the youngest of five children, so I was never able to be a big sister. So I thought if I could be a Big Sister to someone that would be terrific.” Erin adds, “What a great opportunity it was to be a mentor and

23 NO MATTER WHERE A KID COMES FROM, THESE GROUPS WORK TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE WILL BE IN THEIR CORNER.

For all the thousands of kids who join our program every year, there are many more who can’t. There just aren’t enough Bigs to go around. And since many parents request that their child be matched with someone of the same background or ethnicity, the demand for diversity in our volunteers is constantly growing. Here are a few of the groups that are working to help us raise awareness:

AFFINITY GROUPS Affinity Groups consist of former Bigs, current Bigs, and people who just believe in the cause. They hold monthly meetings, host community events, and help create strategies to diversify our volunteers.

BIGS EDUCATION COUNCIL To boost the Education Initiative’s efforts, in the winter of 2014, the Bigs Education Council was created. Composed of a diverse group of current and alumni volunteer Bigs, this affinity group supports the Education Initiative and other agency education-related efforts through various activities, including recruiting Littles and Bigs for education programming, developing education-related partnerships, supporting with Education Initiative programming and fundraising for scholarships for our Littles.

LATINO BIGS Committed to serving children from Latino communities in NYC, Latino Bigs has developed a targeted outreach campaign to serve more children in the historically Hispanic neighborhood of East Harlem. The group also hosts an annual softball tournament fundraiser, “Step Up To The Plate”.

BIGS UNITED Focused on ensuring our black youth have access to positive role models, Bigs United has put together a series of community panels bringing together local influencers to discuss topics pertinent to the African American community while highlighting the need for more mentors. Annual events include an MLK Day of Service project and Black History Month Artist Showcase. ASIAN MENTORING COMMITTEE Working to support the agency’s New American Program, supporting children who come from immigrant families, the AMC helps establish relationships that serve as pipelines of mentors for these youth. Through their annual signature Night Market loft party event, the group seeks to create enough sustainable funding to support an additional 50 matches from NYC’s Asian communities.

Without our individual, corporate and foundation funders, and event attendees, our dream of helping New York City’s kids would not be possible.

There are over forty companies that participate in this program and they include every vocation from finance to fashion.

FOLLOW US @bbbsnyc OUR VALUES

BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF MENTORING

We believe the relationships between Bigs and Littles are life-changing and help prepare children for successful futures. BBBS of NYC provides quality, safe mentoring experiences for the children of the 5 boroughs, their families, and the Bigs who mentor them. We also believe in sharing our experience and expertise with other organizations and individuals looking to make a difference.

PUT THE KIDS FIRST

Children represent the future of our society, and BBBS of NYC is all about protecting the futures of children. We must judge everything we do by its end benefit to the Littles we serve. We must surround the Littles with as much positivity as possible.

BE EXCELLENT

Excellence comes in many forms and should be embraced by all departments. Individuals and teams must strive for the highest quality and treat their co-workers with the utmost respect.
