Mentoring Maryland’s Future
2012 annual report

august 2012
We are very pleased to present the 2012 Annual Report for Big Brothers Big
Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake. Despite the many challenges of a tough
economy, we have had a remarkable year, and we are proud of our results.
Some of these highlights include:
• We served 35% more children through direct mentoring services
than we did last year and they improved academically, socially,
and emotionally.
• We reached 12,560 people through our broader mission.
• Our special events, a critical component of our sustainability,
exceeded goals and raised 22% of our budget.
Now that we are a unified force throughout Maryland, we are uniquely
positioned to lead the state in increasing durable mentor relationships, helping
more children realize their potential, encouraging better relationships and
academic outcomes, and creating stronger communities.
This is an exciting time. On behalf of the entire organization I want to thank
our mentors, volunteers, school partners, program partners, community
leaders, donors, foundations, and corporations. Your generous contributions
make it possible for us to deliver on our mission: Mentoring Maryland’s Future.
Sincerely,
Bradley Chambers
Chairman of the Board
Mentoring Maryland’s Future
We bring over 60 years of experience in research, training, and direct
mentoring service to the state of Maryland. We serve children ages 7-18
in 14 Maryland counties and Baltimore City. Our work is premised on the
vision that all children and youth will achieve success in life.
a stronger Capacity to serve
Big Brothers Big Sisters has served more
than 30,000 youth in Maryland since our
founding in 1952. We operate three offices
throughout the state located in Central
Maryland, Southern Maryland, and on the
Eastern Shore. We have 33 full-time staff,
a 34-member Board of Directors, and
thousands of volunteers.
Our direct service model is unique and
time-tested: one child, one mentor, and
a professional match support staff providing intensive case management,
supervision, and regular evaluation. Children
in our programs demonstrate significant outcomes after just one year:
improved academic achievement, better relationships, fewer risky choices,
and higher confidence.
After formalizing our union with the Maryland Mentoring Partnership, we
have a new name: Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake. Through
our combined resources, we are now Maryland’s largest youth mentoring
organization and a clearinghouse for all youth mentoring services, such as:
• Training others to support their efforts in mentoring according
to best practices;
• Technical assistance and consultations to local partners;
• Piloting programs among underserved communities and driving
new research.
Moving Forward
We are poised to lead Maryland in meeting the needs of all children. We have
a bold plan for the future:
• Match over 1,300 children on our agency waiting list with a caring
mentor;
• Pilot new programs and studies that enhance our practices
and hold us accountable for outcomes;
• Expand our broader services and special events to increase
our fundraising capacity.

our prograMs get things started
Community one-to-one program:
Bigs commit to seeing their Littles in the community two or three times
each month for at least one year. Professional staff provide ongoing case
management and support throughout the mentoring relationship. Littles try
new things, gain new skills, and explore new interests. They gain confidence,
perform better in school, and have better relationships.
Bigs in school/site programs:
These programs match community, college, and corporate volunteers with
children for weekly one-hour sessions in the Littles’ schools. Case managers
coordinate activities and provide on-site match support. We target students
at risk of suspension and expulsion, not meeting their academic potential,
and who need help developing positive social behaviors. This year we
operated 31 Bigs in School programs across Maryland.
Workplace programs:
High schoolers meet with mentors in the workplace throughout the academic
year to develop meaningful relationships, learn valuable job skills, and meet
developmental and academic goals. These programs last two to four
years and are designed to broaden youth’s opportunities and exposure to
professional workplaces.
special populations:
We provide specialized mentoring services for youth with particular barriers
to success. We have served over 1,600 children of incarcerated parents and
received national recognition as a best-practices leader. We offer targeted
initiatives serving military families, children with disabilities, youth initiated
into the juvenile justice system, and children growing up in the most violent
and impoverished neighborhoods in East and West Baltimore.
Mentoring resource services:
As the resource for the advancement of youth mentoring statewide, we
increase both the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships by offering
trainings to youth service providers, including Program Training Certification,
Introduction to Mentoring, and Advanced Risk Management. We offer
technical assistance to local partners, such as reduced price background
checks, and we offer our expertise through consultations. This year we
reached 12,590 people through these resource services.

A BIG Impact, By The Numbers
Research shows that the stronger the mentoring relationship between
the Big and Little and the longer the mentoring relationship, the greater
the positive outcomes. With this knowledge we maintain an agency-wide
focus on the formula Length + Strength = Outcomes.

“i have Found that in My sister”
Diandra’s life has always been filled with challenges. Her mother is a drug
addict, in and out of rehab for years, and her father is a recovering drug
addict whose health and cognitive skills are drastically diminished as a result
of years of drug use. While there are several extended family members who
assist and watch over the girls, Diandra and her sister bear many of life’s
burdens together. They keep the house running, they hide their money so
their mother can’t use it to buy drugs, and they give each other the support
necessary to make it through each day.
Three years ago, Diandra and Carina were matched to Big Sisters. The
relationships have proven to be the connection the two young ladies needed
to take the next steps toward a better life. Diandra elected to attend a High
School many miles from her home in Baltimore City even though it meant
that she would have to travel from the west side, all the way to the northeast
side. She graduated with a 3.2 GPA and received a full college scholarship.
Diandra’s mother cast doubt about her going away to school saying, “They
won’t accept you, you aren’t going to fit in, and they’re going to be too hard
on you.” But Diandra received encouragement from her Big Sister to choose
the path in her heart. Diandra knew she needed to focus on education and
take care of herself even though she was afraid to leave her sister. Diandra’s
confidence was buoyed by the commitment of both Big Sisters who
promised to look out for Carina, keeping her on the right path and keeping
her safe.
Diandra writes; “I’ve been with this program since the summer of 2008 upon
entering my senior year in high school. I think that I’ve grown as a person,
but I am most satisfied with the relationships that I have gained with my big
sister, Diana, as well as my younger sister’s Big Sister, Tracey, who is also a part
of the program. The reason that I originally wanted to be a part of Big Brothers
Big Sisters was because I wanted to be around a young adult female who
I feel is a true representation of independence. I have found that in my Sister.
I truly believe and would hope that we could still keep in touch even when
the program is over. “

Big Brother of the year:
andrew spindler
Big Brother Andrew Spindler began
mentoring his Little Brother in 2010.
Andrew was matched with his Little
Brother in part because both of them
were interested in sports and loved
outdoor activities. Andrew is perfect for
his Little Brother and they attend many
of the Big Brothers Big Sisters-sponsored
events, including the recent Eastern Shore
Amazing Race, where they won second
place! Mom says Big Brother is always
available to support Little Brother even
though he works two jobs. Big brother
goes out of his way by calling, texting,
and checking up on his Little Brother on a regular basis. Despite a long drive,
Andrew attended all of Little Brother’s football games to cheer him on!
Big sister of the year:
renee dodd
Big Sister Renee Dodd has been matched
with her Little Sister since 2008. Renee
and her Little Sister enjoy movies, walks
through the mall, and baking
homemade cookies. Renee drives from
Denton to Salisbury and beyond to
attend agency events with her Little Sister,
including the Eastern Shore Amazing
Race, where they came in third place!
Renee’s dedication and hard work despite
obstacles is the reason this match is
a success story!

speCial events raise
nearly one Quarter oF our Funds
Our annual fundraising events deepen our engagement with partners
throughout our communities. We raise 22% of our operating budget directly
through these efforts. Our special events provide outstanding platforms for
extending our message, raising awareness of mentoring’s impact, and
recruiting mentors and youth.
Our 9th Annual MentorZING Spring Gala held at the Marriott Waterfront
on May 27, 2012 celebrated mentoring through marvelous performances,
inspirational words, and vibrant fashion as guests embraced a
Preakness theme.
Presenting Sponsor: M&t Bank
Our competitive bowling series broke its
all-time fundraising record this season with
help from corporate sponsors, 160 bowling
teams, and over 1,680 bowlers.
Presenting Sponsor: Wells Fargo
Our 4th annual Biggest Little Tailgate Party took place on October 17, 2011
at M&T Bank Stadium. Over 700 attendees played games on the field, toured
the Ravens’ locker room, mingled with cheerleaders and Poe, enjoyed
excellent food by celebrity guest chefs, and judged the chili cook-off.
Presenting Sponsor: M&t Bank
Our signature golf events raised funds to support our programs. Hardy
golfers got a little wintertime practice at Santa’s Open, participants enjoyed
a round and lunch at the Eastern Shore Golf Classic, and golfers joined us in
Leonardtown for the 12th Annual Southern Maryland Golf Classic.”
