Creating a community
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.
Laura Parsons Jonathan Bram Hector Batista
Chairman Board President Chief Executive Officer
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.

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.”

On September 17th, a Little taught us
i wasn’t only going to school for my own betterment. I was being given an edge that not
everyone is awarded and it was my duty to use it wisely.
As the first recipient of BBBS of NYC’s Tawana Tibbs Scholarship,
Janet wasn’t about to let this wonderful opportunity go to waste. A
sophomore at Binghamton University with a double major in linguistics
and psychology, Janet is using her scholarship wisely. Janet explains,
“I visited my academic counselors regularly so that we could find out
what field I could major in so that I wouldn’t be wasting credits.”
Of course, Janet readily admits that she couldn’t have done this all
on her own. “My Big, Marjorie, was always very adamant about
making sure I was aware of any scholarship opportunities that she
came across.
Having Marjorie in my life added to my team of supporters who were
always there to let me know that I had someone on my side.” Janet
continues, “I think the more people you have in your life rooting for your
success, the more determined you will be to make those people proud
by succeeding.”
“Without being in BBBS of NYC I wouldn’t have been able to apply
for the scholarship.” Janet adds, “I am grateful to BBBS, my Big
Marjorie, and to Tawana Tibbs for taking the risk and investing in
me and my future.”
Janet Nelson — Young Alum
The Tawana Tibbs ScholarshipThis scholarship is in honor of Tawana Tibbs and her tenure as
the President of our Board of Trustees from 2011-2013. As a
way to embody her values and spirit, this scholarship is awarded
to a graduating female high school senior who has exemplified a
commitment to her own empowerment through education, a passion
for giving back to her community through service, and who has been
an ambassador for and a role model to her peers.
Past President of the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big
Sisters of New York City, Tawana M. Tibbs hardly considers herself
a philanthropist. Says Tibbs, “I’m doing what I’m supposed to be
doing in the community.”

Francis Bacon once said that knowledge is power. This is something that I believe strongly in and apply
to my every day lifestyle.“As an ambitious sophomore, I have come to realize day in and day
out just how important school is to someone,” Angelica explains.
“As a teenager in a poor Bronx neighborhood, I witness what a lack
of knowledge can do to someone.”
A Little in the BBBS of NYC’s Workplace Mentoring Program,
Angelica was given the opportunity to be mentored by a successful
professional in an actual workplace environment at the Hospital for
Special Surgery.
According to her Big, Eden, “Even though Angelica is only 16
years old, she’s surprisingly wise and mature for her age. Not only
is she an excellent student with high honor roll standing, she’s also
demonstrated admirable qualities like helping another Little with a
homework problem.”
Of course, getting where she is today, wasn’t easy. “I encountered
some tough times in 7th grade,” Angelica confides. “But I went from
failing classes to honor roll, then high honor roll. Today, I have a
GPA of 97.”
Outside of school, Angelica pursues her passion for Judo. “I’m 6th in
the nation for 52kg Judo,” Angelica proudly exclaims.
Pushing herself to achieve more seems to be a pattern with Angelica.
According to Eden, “We often discuss college and career options.
Angie is fully committed to going to college and advancing herself.”
“I have found her to be both a strong student academically and a role model and leader for her peers.”
- Linas Gintautas — Angelica’s Humanities Teacher
Angelica Casillas — Academic Excellence Award
I do my best not just for me but to lead others
someplace good.
That’s awfully deep thinking for someone only in 8th grade. But then
again, Maria is no ordinary 8th grader. According to her Big, Yesenia,
“Maria is not your average teenager. She’s very dedicated to her
schoolwork. She doesn’t get caught up in social media or any of the
other distractions affecting our youth today.”
“I want to go to school. 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. With effort, I get medals and certificates.”
It seems all this effort and hard work is already paying off for Maria.
In addition to receiving this Academic Excellence Award from BBBS
of NYC, she also became the first student from her grade school to
get accepted into Talented Unlimited High School — a high school for
gifted students.
As a Little in BBBS of NYC, Maria had the opportunity to participate
in OppNet, a program that helps students after 8th grade with
college and internships. Maria explains, “This program teaches you
how to take notes in different styles, visit colleges, practice writing
and it helps with study habits which we need because high school is
different from middle school.”
Maria Jose Ramos — Academic Excellence Award
“I want to tell everyone that I’m proud of this program.
BBBS of NYC helps all children to start a new life and
gives parents the help they need.”
- Maria’s Mother
“Maria embodies our school’s REACH values
(Respect & Responsibility, Enthusiasm, Achievement,
Citizenship, and Hard Work). She takes ownership of
her own education”.
Justin Chao — Maria’s Math Teacher

I want to stop the suffering from illness and intend
to find a cure for cancer.
An ambitious goal for a thirteen year old, but our Academic
Excellence Award recipient Gokai may be the person who someday
will actually pull it off.
According to his Big, Duc Le, “Gokai is one of those rare youths who
will put other people’s needs and wants before his own.” A perfect
example was something that happened in his math class last year.
Gokai proudly explains, “I was always great at using a graphing
calculator, but most of my peers didn’t understand it. So one day in
math class I helped my confused classmates by teaching them how
to use one.”
Besides his normal academic curriculum, Gokai also attends
Chinese school on weekends and participates in preparatory
programs like tutoring for his tests or prepping for college. Time well
spent considering that after taking the SHSAT, Gokai was accepted
into his first choice high school, the Bronx Science Academy.
“Since Gokai didn’t need help with education, my goal was to
show him those things that make New York, New York.”
Duc Le confides, “But as much as I have tried to show Gokai
new and different things, he has taught me even more in becoming
a more complete mentor, mature adult, and friend.”
“Gokai is extremely hard working, smart, and has a real passion for math. He currently takes Algebra 1 which is an honors
program for the 8th grade students in our school.” - Darlynn Alfalla — Gokai’s Math Teacher
Gokai Wami — Academic 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.
Originally struggling in her classes, Kyla has not only shown immense
improvement in her academic skills but in her social and emotional
skills as well.
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
disabilities came over and intercepted Kyla from catching the Frisbee.
“Rather than get upset,” Sabina explained, “Kyla stepped back to
enlarge the circle so he could join in. Kyla shared the game and made
a total stranger feel welcomed.”
Now, while this may be a level of maturity you wouldn’t expect from a
3rd grader, here’s something else you wouldn’t expect. According to
Kyla, her favorite things to learn about are jazz and famous jazz artists
like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Fats Waller.
KYLA SMITH – Science Explorer Excellence Award
“Kyla took the risk of making changes in herself
and it has paid off. It has been wonderful to see her
self-confidence blossom.”
- Terra Sweet — Kyla’s homeroom teacher

In the words of the late Nelson Mandela, education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
“This quote is the reason why I take my academics very seriously,”
Rayvon explains. “Looking at friends and family members who didn’t
finish high school or college and seeing where they are now has
shown me that there is no place in life without an education.”
Even though he’s just starting college, Rayvon already has an
impressive resume of accomplishments. “In 2011, I was awarded the
Christian Service Gifted and Giving Award. In 2012, I participated in
the Columbia University Summer Internship. In 2013, I was inducted
into the National Honor Society.” Rayvon adds proudly, “I volunteered
at the 92nd Street Y doing homework help and participated in
Teensgiving, a one day event where volunteers participate in various
community service projects throughout NYC.”
Now when a young man is that motivated to succeed, how can BBBS
of NYC help? That question was answered by Rayvon’s Big, Andrew,
“Whether it was the SAT prep courses, college visits, or advice on
college applications, Ray being Ray, he jumped into all the great
opportunities that BBBS offers.” Andrew added proudly, “I spoke to
Ray a week after he began his freshman year at Boston University.
He told me that it hasn’t been too much of a culture shock because,
as he so succinctly put it: ‘I am ready for this’.”
“He’s an innovative self-starter who rarely needs
supervision. His greatest strength is his ability to
adapt to any situation.”
– Keith Fagan — Rayvon’s AP Microeconomics teacher

After we help our Littles,
Khyl
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.
“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
Xiuzhen
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.
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.

Bigs UnitedAn 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.
Latino BigsAn 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.
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 GROUPSAffinity 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.
When it comes to helping us
raise awareness, they deserve an A+.

The Young Professionals CommiteeOver 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.
Asian Mentoring CommiteeAn 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 NetworkAlthough 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.
When it comes to helping us
raise awareness, they deserve an A+.
Cantor Fitzgerald Charity DayEvery 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.
Community PartnershipsBronx Volunteer of the YearIn 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.

MarcumMarcum 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.
Sony and NYC ServiceWe 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.
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.
Social Media. A lesson in sharing.

Casino Jazz NightHonoring select members of New York City’s real estate
industry for their philanthropic contributions, this summer event
attracts the “movers and shakers” in commercial real estate
and finance. Guests partake in casino games and the fabulous
fare of Cipriani 42nd Street.
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.
Sidewalks of NY Annual Awards DinnerHeld at New York City’s Waldorf Astoria in April, this is our
signature gala event. Matches come to share wonderful stories
and present awards to honorees. Over the years, honorees have
included members of the media, corporate and sports worlds.
RBC Race for the Kids — Part of Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of PlayHeld in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, this 5K Run/Walk celebrates
the power of mentoring with over three thousand five hundred
participants. Joined by their families and other caring New
Yorkers, matches enjoy a fun-filled day that also encourages
healthy living.

Accountants & Bankers ReceptionThis annual event honors one accountant and one
banker who have served their community with distinction.
Executives from a variety of industries join us at the
Harmonie Club to network and show their support for
these accounting and banking heroes.
Invitational Golf OutingA round of golf at an exclusive club brings out
members of the domestic and international hedge fund
community. This annual event includes a cocktail reception,
dinner, and a live auction.
Tournament of Champions PongHeld annually, ToC Pong takes place at Grand Central
Station’s Vanderbilt Hall and hosts thirty-two teams from
within the financial community. An all-glass court allows
spectators to see all the action.
Gridiron GamesHeld 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.
Big Night OutThis 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.

The Chairman of Starfish Media Group and PowHerful Summit
founder, Soledad O’Brien, joined BBBS of NYC Training Center
Director, Kiana Walbrook, and other panelists for The 2014
PowHERful Summit “Finding the Right Mentor Panel”.
Held at Credit Suisse, they were joined by 200 college and
high school girls for an interactive discussion about the value
of having a mentor.
In addition to sharing stories about their own mentors and how they
impacted their lives, the panelists also gave attendees an opportunity
to gather other valuable mentoring advice including how it can be
used to help achieve your goals and how to get the most out of a
mentoring relationship. It was a great experience not just for the
young girls but for the panelists as well.
Center for TrainingFor the past 22 years our Center for Training and Professional
Development has provided core initiatives to meet the needs
of youth serving organizations that want to positively impact
youth through their Mentoring Supervisor Certificate Program,
Professional Development Workshops, and through Technical
Assistance. All programs provide capacity building, organizational
development, mentoring enhancements and overall
professional development.
The best part of mentoring is
passing along what we’ve learned.

Children of Promise Mentoring ProgramGrowing up in the city’s poorer neighborhoods isn’t easy.
It’s even harder for a child who has an incarcerated parent
or other family member. To help them have a chance at a
better future, our Children of Promise Mentoring Program
brings a positive adult role model into their lives.
Available to children between the ages of seven and
eighteen, the Littles in this program are referred to us
by parents and community agencies.
Education InitiativeOur Education Initiative provides the resources and
support our Littles need to achieve academic success.
In partnership with the City University of New York’s
College Now program, Signet Tutoring, and Graph It
Forward, we offer academic enrichment programs to all of
our Littles that include comprehensive college-readiness
workshops for high school Littles. We also have computer
tutoring stations for Littles to work on school projects,
study various academic subjects, and prepare for the SAT
and ACT. For our Littles who are struggling academically,
we create thoughtful action-oriented academic
intervention plans.
Juvenile Justice ProgramTo help reduce delinquency, we created this unique
mentoring program. It combines intense case
management services with our traditional one-to-one
mentoring to help at-risk youths avoid becoming involved
in the criminal justice system.
The positive influence and support from Bigs helps them
avoid getting into trouble, joining gangs, or breaking the
law and encourages them to help others.
New American ProgramIt’s not easy making a new country home. Our New
American Program helps young immigrants overcome
obstacles they may face when trying to adjust to a
new culture, language, and customs. To help make the
transition easier, we do our best to match our Littles with
an adult mentor who has similar ethnic backgrounds.
This program also gives parents the added support system
of having another adult ready to offer guidance, support,
and direction to their child.
Traditional Mentoring ProgramFor over 100 years this program has been matching
boys and girls between the ages of seven and eighteen
with a caring adult role model twenty-one years or older.
Supported by a social worker, these matches get together
at least twice a month to bond, have fun, and learn from
each other’s experiences.
By offering children a positive adult role model, this
program has helped many Littles improve in school, go on
to college, and lead productive lives.
Workplace Mentoring ProgramWhat better way to expose students to all the possibilities
that are out in the workplace than to actually have them
experience life in the workplace? That’s the idea behind
our Workplace Mentoring Program. Every other week,
students from area schools are brought into the city
where they will enjoy on-site, one-to-one mentoring from
employees at a participating company. There are over
forty companies that participate in this program and they
include every vocation from finance to fashion.
In addition to having a positive impact on students, this
program also has a positive impact on the employees
who participate. Companies report that they are more
dedicated and loyal, and their involvement helps boost
employee morale.
98% 97% 86%
of Littles are promoted to the next grade.

OUR VALUES
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.
PUT THE KIDS FIRST
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.
BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF MENTORING
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.
BE EXCELLENT
