30 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES Creating a community of learners.

Since 1904, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City has sought to provide youth with the demonstrated benefits of a professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationship. Over the years, we have seen the lives of our Littles transformed by the commitment of our dedicated Bigs. And with so many of our city’s youth facing adversity, the need for our programs is greater than ever. While we have continued to expand our organization to meet this ever growing need, we have also broadened our scope to include the kind of support for learning and knowledge that is critical to achieving success in modern New York City.

For many of us, learning happens outside the confines of a classroom. Throughout our everyday lives, we move from one teachable moment to the next; sometimes we are the teacher, and just as often, we are the student. Importantly, even when we may not realize it, our actions can become yet another lesson in a child’s life learning.

One of our primary goals includes trying to infuse learning into the lives of our Littles. We started over 100 years ago by offering the additional support and guidance of a Big to help children navigate the challenges of growing up so they may build the foundation to achieve greater success in life. Our Bigs have always helped teach important life lessons and instill a love of learning in our kids.

And today, our Education Initiative strives to further help elementary, middle, and high school students in some of our city’s most underserved neighborhoods. In partnership with parents, volunteers, and schools, we’re giving more kids the tools and support they need to gain the appropriate skills for a better education. From tutoring to workplace mentoring to filling out college applications and touring schools, we’re a part of our Littles’ education until they’re Littles no more.

Our mentoring programs and our Education Initiative are creating college students, graduates, professionals and leaders in our communities. Our Littles are taking what they have learned and applying it to their lives – both personally and professionally. And, perhaps most importantly, they are striving to continue to grow and learn.

And like them, we too are striving for growth by thinking big so that we may continue to make such remarkable impacts. Thank you for being a part of our learning community and helping set our Littles on a pathway to success.

On September 17th, a Little taught us just how much having a Big can really change a life.

The lesson came in the form of a letter. The author? A Little who was in our program 30 years ago. At that time, she was a sixteen-year old ward of the State residing in a group home in Brooklyn.

“I had recently migrated to this country” Michelle explains, “I was alienated from my family and essentially alone in a country and culture that were completely foreign to me.”

When Michelle joined our program, Barbara Savini was matched with Michelle as her Big. “Barbara and I bonded immediately” Michelle fondly recalls, “She taught me how to ride a bicycle, encouraged me to develop my hobby in photography, took me to museums, horseback riding, Central Park and introduced me to a whole new life.” Michelle adds, “Barbara became my best friend and a true sister.”

Barbara was also her biggest cheerleader. According to Michelle, “Through her consistent guidance, nurturing, and love, I became stronger and more confident. She encouraged me to pursue my goals in obtaining a Master’s Degree in Social Work and eventually my law degree.”

Would Michelle have accomplished all this without having a Big to guide her? Maybe, but you’ll never convince Michelle of that. “I firmly believe that Barbara played a strong role in my successes and accomplishments.” Michelle continues, “Words will never adequately describe the extent of my gratitude to her for all that she has done for me.”

That’s awfully deep thinking for someone only in 8th grade. But then As a Little in BBBS of NYC, Maria had the opportunity to participate again, Maria is no ordinary 8th grader. According to her Big, Yesenia, in OppNet, a program that helps students after 8th grade with “Maria is not your average teenager. She’s very dedicated to her college and internships.

I want to learn every day,” Maria adds. “Since I entered school I have gotten awards for everything — grades, behavior, science fair, egg drop, math bowl. I try my best on everything.

9 KYLA SMITH – Science Explorer Excellence Award I would like to be a teacher so I can help people.

When asked what the most important part of getting an education was, Kyla responded, “If anyone has a problem they need to solve, there will be someone there to help you. Also so you can get into college when you grow up.”

This is a big change from the Kyla people knew just a year ago. Now, while this may be a level of maturity you wouldn’t expect from a Originally struggling in her classes, Kyla has not only shown immense 3rd grader, here’s something else you wouldn’t expect. According to improvement in her academic skills but in her social and emotional Kyla, her favorite things to learn about are jazz and famous jazz artists skills as well. like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Fats Waller.

A perfect example of this growth came from a story Kyla’s Big, Sabina told us. During a game of Frisbee, a younger boy with developmental “Kyla took the risk of making changes in herself disabilities came over and intercepted Kyla from catching the Frisbee. and it has paid off. It has been wonderful to see her “Rather than get upset,” Sabina explained, “Kyla stepped back to self-confidence blossom.” enlarge the circle so he could join in.

11 After we help our Littles, many come back to help us.

Of all the lessons we hope our Littles learned from us, the most important one is to always help others. Some of our Littles do it by becoming Bigs. Some do it through volunteer work. Here are three that did it by becoming our summer interns and using their experience as a Little to help us recruit more Bigs. Khyl Became a Little at 13. Now 19 BBBS OF NYC Summer Internship BBBS of NYC Community Mentoring Program Freshman at Borough of Manhattan Community College Major: Music

“Everyone in my family encouraged me to go to college. I always wanted to go to college.” Khyl confesses, “But I didn’t think I could. I was having problems with my education.” Khyl talked about his school issues with his Big. And his Big talked about them with us. Together with Khyl, his Big, his family, and his school, we developed a plan that would help Khyl fulfill his dream.

Khyl is now attending BMCC. Majoring in music. He hopes to become a professional gospel musician. Afia Became a Little at 15. Now 21 BBBS of NYC Summer Internship BBBS of NYC Workplace Mentoring Program Junior at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Major: Psychology and Critical Research

Afia has taken part in our Summer Intern Program twice already. Still her favorite BBBS program was Workplace Mentoring at Willis. “Every other Wednesday it made me a little happier inside knowing I was going to see my Big for mentoring.” Afia explains, “It gave me a peek at what having a job in a corporate office was like. Learning about working in an office and office etiquette”.

Being part of this program also helped Afia in high school. According to Afia, “My Big helped me stay focused on school so I could get to do something in the world”.

Today, Afia is a junior at St. Francis College in Brooklyn majoring in psychology and critical research.

Xiuzhen

Became a Little at 12. Now 18 BBBS of NYC Summer Internship BBBS of NYC Workplace Mentoring Program Sophomore at Washington & Jefferson College Major: International Studies

Even at the age of 12, Xiuzhen was a self-starter. “My friends were in the BBBS Workplace Mentoring Program. I thought it was cool. Kind of like a field trip.” Xiuzhen continued, “So I asked my school counselor if I could be part of it”

Xiuzhen met her first Big at Deloitte during Workplace Mentoring. “All my Bigs were business related. NY Stock Exchange. Fashion.” Xiuzhen continues, “I asked them for help a lot with my future and they helped me figure out what I wanted to do.”

A sophomore at Washington & Jefferson College, Xiuzhen is majoring in International Studies. She plans on joining the Air Force after graduation. Get her MBA. And eventually work all around the globe. 13 When it comes to helping us raise awareness, they deserve an A+.

For all the thousands of kids who join our program every year, there are thousands 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.

Latino Bigs An Affinity Group working to recruit more Latino mentors celebrated its 7th anniversary by creating an outreaching campaign in and around East Harlem. They also raised funds to expand our programming through their annual Step Up to the Plate Softball tournament.

Bigs United An Affinity Group focused on ensuring our black youth have access to positive role models held a series of panel discussions culminating in a celebration during Black History month all highlighting the need and impact of mentoring within the black community. When it comes to helping us raise awareness, they deserve an A+.

Asian Mentoring Commitee An affinity network helping provide mentors to the city’s many Asian immigrant communities. The Asian Mentoring Committee launched their inaugural Night Market event with a focus on raising funds to expand our New American Mentoring Program.

Alumni Network Although no longer matched with a Little, these Bigs continue to help us by sharing their stories, experiences, and advice with new Bigs as they go through the initial orientation and training sessions before they become matched. Alumni Bigs also volunteer their time to support the agency through Race for the Kids and our Education Initiative. In addition, this year we launched our Littles Alumni Program, encouraging Littles to maintain a lifelong relationship with the agency.

The Young Professionals Commitee Over the course of the year, this group of volunteers holds a variety of fundraising and recruitment activities. Since its inception, this group has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations for BBBS of NYC.

15 Community Partnerships

Bronx Volunteer of the Year In 2014, the Bronx Volunteer Coalition led by Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC turned out the vote to select the first annual Bronx Volunteers of the Year. In the four categories (Neighborhood Impact, Youth Leadership, Sustained Service, and Organized Effort), more than six thousand votes were cast, honoring the people who uplift Bronx communities. From healthcare volunteers to mentors, environmental clean-up to cultural advancement, the Volunteer of the Year Awards showcased a phenomenal range of passionate involvement in the life of the Bronx.

Cantor Fitzgerald Charity Day Every year, Cantor Fitzgerald honors their 658 employees who perished in the World Trade Center attacks by donating 100 percent of their revenue to over 150 charities worldwide during their annual Charity Day event on September 11th. Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City was nominated to receive a portion of this revenue in 2013. Our celebrity ambassadors Jamie Foxx and Knicks point guard Raymond Felton joined other celebrities on the trading room floor as brokers helped guide their conversations and the trades with their clients. Their presence on the phone (and Jamie on the loudspeaker) was impactful; they were fantastic advocates for our agency. Sony and NYC Service We worked with Sony for their launch of the Amazing Spiderman 2. Before speaking to the entire Business of Sports High School, Jamie Foxx surprised our Littles from the Sony and NFL Workplace Mentoring Programs with a private meet and greet. NYC Service worked with us to keep it a surprise for our Littles and the school. Jamie took selfies, pictures and videos with our Littles and spoke about the importance of always striving to do your best in school and in life.

Marcum Marcum LLP, one of the nation’s largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms, selected Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City as the first charity beneficiary for their annual Marcum MicroCap Conference. The 2014 conference took place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on May 29th and we were presented with a $10,000 donation at the closing of the event.

Social Media. A lesson in sharing.

When something exciting happens most people can’t wait to tell someone about it. We’re the same way. Today, social media allows us to share the excitement of every event as soon as it happens.

bbbsnyc @TheamazingSpiderman2

@theTODAYShow @bbbsnyc // bbbsnyc // @RachaelRay 17 One thing we always teach is q that helping others can be fun.

To help put the “fun” in our fundraising, a number of special events are held every year. In addition to networking and socializing, these events give attendees an opportunity to hear about the positive changes they’re helping us accomplish — not just in the lives of our Littles and Bigs, but in their families, schools, and local communities. Without our individual, corporate and foundation funders, and event attendees, our dream of helping New York City’s kids would not be possible.

Big Night Out This annual black tie fundraiser held by our Young Professionals Committee includes dancing, casino games, a poker tournament, and a silent auction. Held at Cipriani Wall St., it attracts over nine hundred young professionals.

Gridiron Games Held every year at the MetLife Stadium, it’s the day when Littles and Bigs can play football on a professional field, tour the locker room, and even meet retired NFL players. That afternoon top NYC law firm members compete in a touch football tournament. 19 The best part of mentoring is passing along what we’ve learned.

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.
