Impacting the wider community For 108 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City has made a lasting impact on the youth we serve, the volunteers who help us, and the entire City of New York. Since our founding, we have empowered tens of thousands of youth and adults to realize life-long positive changes — changes that exponentially affect families, teachers, colleagues, communities and future generations. When a Little has the opportunity to follow a new path towards academic, social and community involvement, it enhances our City as a whole. When our adult volunteers connect with youth from divergent geographic, economic and ethnic backgrounds, they develop a greater sense of awareness. By bridging the demographic gap and breaking down barriers, our matches help bring our City’s vast population closer together. One of our goals at BBBS of NYC is to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our youth and volunteer pool. That’s why we have expanded into all five boroughs and brought mentors into the workplace as well as schools. That’s also why we have reached out to a wide array of community organizations to recruit volunteers and continued to expand our network through social media, young professionals clubs, fraternities and other affinity groups. Here at BBBS of NYC, we believe that every individual has the potential to make an impact on our organization, and ultimately, on the city and beyond. Our donors and foundations are crucial to supporting our programs and enabling us to do what we do best. Our volunteers, partners, Board of Trustees, event organizers, alumni network, families and other dedicated supporters spread the word about the value of mentoring and the quality and success of our programs. It’s the cumulative, combined effort of all these individuals and groups that allows us to continue to influence youth from every neighborhood in our City — helping them make better choices and become achieving and contributing members of society. The following pages capture just a few examples of the impact BBBS of NYC makes here in New York. We invite you to read and be inspired.
