Big Sister 2011 Annual Report - Big Sister Association of Greater ...

It takes skill and experience to provide the training, assessment, and support necessary to make and
maintain quality mentoring relationships. The majority of our staff members are trained social workers,
most of whom hold professional licenses and have career or educational backgrounds in issues affecting
women and girls.
These are the people who answer the calls coming from girls and families requesting a Big Sister.
They raise critical funds needed to support our mentoring programs. They recruit women to become
Big Sisters. They lead our Group Mentoring programs. They train other youth-serving agencies in
gender-sensitive programming. They make mentoring relationships and support them. No matter what
their role, our entire staff is dedicated to our mission of helping girls realize their full potential by
providing them with positive mentoring relationships with women.
