Big Brothers Big Sisters support match relationships with children age 6 through the 18 years of age with caring adults in the community. Children and youth primarily come from single parent homes or homes where special circumstances come into play such as grandparents raising their grandchildren, foster parents and military families. We call our Volunteers “Bigs” and our children “Littles”. Our focus ison prevention and our goals and objectives include the reduction of truancy, suspensions, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, and gang participation. Further goals include academic improvement, improved social skills, and better relationships. These goals and objectives are obtained through individualized match plan goals. Research confirms that Big Brothers Big Sisters is successful in helping our community’s most vulnerable children beat the odds. Our strength lies in the fact that we do what we do extremely well. We know our program encourages values such as hard work and honesty. Through an independent study we know that when our Littles meet regularly with their Big they are: More confident of their performance in school Get along better with their family 1/3 less likely to hit someone 27% less likely to begin using alcohol 52% less likely to skip school 37% less likely to skip a class And 46% less likely than their peers to start using illegal drugs: A study conducted by Harris Interactive measured outcomes of children who were mentored through Big Brothers Big Sisters. Findings indicate that our mentoring programs help break cycles linked to poverty! e Alumni were 75% more likely than non-alumni to have received a four-year college degree e Alumni were 39% more likely than non-alumni to have current household incomes of $75,000 or higher What would the funds be used for? (Please be specific) Funds received would be used to support matching services for one match for a year. Your investment would help us serve children / youth from high juvenile
