Project Title: Path to 3,000
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward creates and supports mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Our vision is a world where all youth achieve their full potential and realize life success with the help and guidance of caring adults. Our programming bridges social and economic divides through understanding, education, opportunity and compassion. <\/p>\n
We are respectfully requesting funding to support our \u201cPath to 3,000,\u201d our umbrella campaign and initiative encompassing all five core mentoring programs. This initiative is named to reflect our goal of establishing 3,000 active matches between mentors (\u201cBigs\u201d) and at-risk children\/youth (\u201cLittles\u201d) in need of positive role models to help them reach their full potential as students, professionals and community leaders. We have over 1,300 matches to date, with a projected yearly increase of 10%. <\/p>\n
To continue forward on our Path to 3,000, mentor recruitment is a critical and ongoing organizational priority, with a particular focus on expanding our pool of male mentors who identify as people of color. By creating and leveraging partnerships to expand our reach and engagement, we will strengthen pipelines to reach under-represented mentors who can speak to shared cultural experiences \u2013 creating more impactful, relatable matches. To maximize our impact, decrease the number of waitlisted Littles and supplement our proven one-to-one mentoring model, we have begun implementing group mentoring initiatives. <\/p>\n
Each match that established costs approximately $2,500 annually, covering the cost of youth\/family enrollment and training; volunteer recruitment and onboarding; match introduction; and ongoing match support provided by our program specialists. The proposed funding will directly allow us to continue our work recruiting, vetting and matching Bigs \u2013 with a focus on BIPOC mentors and men of color \u2013 with Littles in Broward County across our programs and moving us forward on our Path to 3,000. <\/p>\n
