One of the many hopes of every parent is for his or her child
have the opportunity to explore new horizons with someone
who could be a positive inuence in that childs life. That was
exactly why in 2007 Suzan, a single Mom with a disability, soughthe assistance of Big Brothers Big Sisters for her daughter, Nia.
Because of my disability, I cant do as much for my daughter as
would like. The program allows Nia to get out of her neighborhoo
and see and experience new things. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a
positive force.
With the support of donors, Big Brothers Big Sisters was able to
pair Nia with Big Sister Rosette, a high school teacher. Rosettedescribes just clicking on her rst meeting with Little Sister Nia
In fact, they found that they clicked on many levels, including an
interest in photography, when Rosette brought a camera to their
rst meeting and they spent their time taking pictures.

ig Brothers Big Sisters impacted the lives of nearly 180,000
children facing adversity between January 1, 2010 and June
30, 2010 through our two core programs: Community-Based and
School-Based mentoring.
We know that the longer a child is matched with a caring mentor
n our program, the greater the impact on that childs life. We are
proud that between January and June we saw an increase in the
average length of each match relationship, as well as increases in
other major milestones, including the six month retention rate and
twelve month retention rate.
However, there is always more work to be done. We continue to
enhance our School-Based Mentoring program to bridge the out-of-
school months by encouraging communications during the summer
to strengthen the relationship and enable it to continue into the
next school year.

These programs are made possible because of the partnerships w

One program for which we expanded partnerships between January
and June 30, 2010 is African American Mentoring. A disproportion
number of the boys ready and waiting to be matched with a Big
Brother are African American. In an effort to recruit more African
American volunteers, especially men, we partnered with urban ra
personality Michael Baisden during his 72-city One Million Mentor
Campaign to Save Our Kids; expanded our partnerships with Afri
American fraternities which now include Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa
Alpha Psi, and Omega Psi Phi; and developed a partnership with
African Methodist Episcopal Church.

her son Andrew needed the steady inuence of a man in his
ife. Andrews dad died when he was only 9 years old. That is when
Margaret called Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Big Brothers Big Sisters found the perfect match when they
paired Andrew with John, an insurance broker. John rst became
nterested in Big Brothers Big Sisters through a colleague who was
a board member of the local organization. According to John, Its
more than what I hoped for, its one of the best things in my life
and I highly recommend it to others. John, who grew up in a singleMom household, understood the importance he could have in Little
Brother Andrews life.

John and Andrew frequently hike trails surrounding where they live.
Little Brother Andrew, a self-proclaimed science buff, can name just
about every tree and plant. With Johns help, Andrew even became
one of the few Boy Scouts in the country to complete every activity
n his handbook.
According to Margaret, she has seen a remarkable change in
Andrew since his rst meeting with John. I understand that at age
11 Andrew is still nding himself. However, he is communicating
much better and is more condent when speaking. Andrew has
even decided he wants to follow in his parents footsteps and jointhe military one day.
