Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Create and support mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. In 2022, we served 1,338 children and youth in the 12-county Metro Atlanta area. The mentoring relationship has a profound impact on young people, often changing the trajectories of their lives.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Create and support mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.

  • Our Community-Based mentoring program is implemented following national evidence-based best practices, including: thorough screening and training of volunteers; in-depth interviews with children and parents; and ongoing professional monitoring, support and resources for the duration of the mentoring match. The program is individualized for each child to meet their social, emotional and academic needs. The Big Brother/Sister and Little Brother/Sister spend quality time together engaged in educational, recreational and cultural enrichment activities at times that are most convenient for them and their families, most often on weekends. In 2022, we served 892 children and youth ages 8-18 in our 1:1 Community-Based program: 82% came from low- or very low-income families; 82% qualified for free or reduced lunch programs at school; 71% lived in single-parent households and 27% had at least one parent who had been incarcerated; 98% were people of color (85% Black/African-American; 5% Hispanic; 7% other race/ethnicity; 1% Asian).Big Futures is an important enhancement to our mentoring program that is designed to support our high school Littles as they prepare for the next step after high school graduation. The Big Futures program aligns with the four Es outcome measures-Education, Enlistment, Employment and Entrepreneurship-and serves as a resource for high school students as they plan for the future. We provide every high school student with a grade-specific College Prep roadmap at the start of each school year, in addition to resources about other life paths. The roadmaps provide a month-by-month list of action items with links to online resources such as the FAFSA, online SAT and ACT prep and practice tests, career assessment tools, templates for creating a resume, financial aid and scholarships. The roadmaps help students stay on track to graduate on time and to prepare for post-secondary educational opportunities. They also help Bigs and parents/guardians support and advocate for success. One element of our Big Futures programming targeted to high school Littles is Beyond School Walls, our workplace mentoring program which is described in 4b. In 2022, we served 466 high school Littles through all of our Big Futures programming. We are very proud of the 2022 outcomes our children and youth were able to achieve, at school and in the community. o 98% were promoted to the next grade on time o 98% did not become involved in the juvenile justice system o 98% of high school seniors graduated on time o 76% of graduating seniors reported plans to pursue post-secondary education or the military The majority of our 2022 graduating seniors who did not have immediate post-secondary college or military plans reported that they intended to work so they could save enough money to enter college in the future, largely as a result of the financial hardship imposed on their households because of COVID.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
