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

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

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

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

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