Diversity Council<br />

Historically more than 80% <strong>of</strong> our Little <strong>Sister</strong>s come from an African-American, Hispanic or Asian<br />

background. <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Sister</strong>’s volunteers or staff, however do not reflect this diversity. In 2009, we formed a<br />

Diversity Council comprised <strong>of</strong> current and former <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Sister</strong>s, staff, Board Members, and community<br />

leaders who were committed to increasing the number <strong>of</strong> volunteers<br />

and staff <strong>of</strong> color as well as augmenting the cultural competency <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Big</strong> <strong>Sister</strong> <strong>Association</strong>. Since its launch, the council has increased<br />

Alumnae <strong>Association</strong><br />

The Alumnae <strong>Association</strong> is a mobilized community <strong>of</strong> former and<br />

current <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Sister</strong>s and former Little <strong>Sister</strong>s who have experienced the<br />

positive impact <strong>of</strong> mentoring and want more girls to have access to<br />

the same opportunity. The women in this network are ambassadors<br />

<strong>of</strong> the benefits derived from research-based mentoring practices.<br />
