Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE AND SUPPORT MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT IGNITE THE POWER AND PROMISE OF YOUTH.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO CREATE AND SUPPORT MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT IGNITE THE POWER AND PROMISE OF YOUTH.

  • BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS TWIN CITIES PARTNERS WITH 2,200 YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES EACH YEAR THROUGH MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING, SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING, OUR BIG FUTURES PROGRAM WHICH OFFERS CAREER AND FUTURE READINESS FOR TEENS, AND FREE ARTS. PROGRAMMING IS SUPPORTED BY PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND MORE THAN 1,300 VOLUNTEERS. OUR LATEST DATA SHOW THAT YOUTH REPORT STRONG RESULTS IN KEY DEVELOPMENTAL AREAS THAT LEAD TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL PERSISTENCE, MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES, AND DEVELOPING SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILLS NECESSARY FOR PERSONAL SUCCESS. FOR SURVEYED YOUTH MENTORED AT LEAST ONE YEAR:- 82% REPORTED MAINTAINING AND STRENGTHENING EDUCATIONAL EXPECTATIONS INCLUDING HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION AND GOING TO COLLEGE;- 86% REPORTED MAINTAINING AND STRENGTHENING EMOTIONAL REGULATION SKILLS;- 85% REPORTED MAINTAINING AND STRENGTHENING SOCIAL COMPETENCE WITH THEIR PEERS;- 75% REPORTED MAINTAINING AND STRENGTHENING SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS, SUCH AS FEELING GOOD AT SCHOOL, ENJOYING BEING IN SCHOOL AND WORKING HARD; AND - 96% REPORTED HAVING A SPECIAL ADULT IN THEIR LIVES WHO ENCOURAGES AND CARES ABOUT THEM.RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION IS A STRONG PREDICTOR OF INCREASED INCOME AND WELL-BEING OVER A LIFETIME. IN 2024, 97% OF BBBS-MENTORED SENIORS GRADUATED ON TIME. RESEARCH HAS ALSO DEMONSTRATED THAT LONGER MATCHES ARE MORE IMPACTFUL AND PROVIDE MORE LONG-TERM BENEFITS. ON AVERAGE, BBBS COMMUNITY-BASED MATCHES LAST NEARLY FOUR YEARS. MANY MATCHES LAST, LITERALLY, FOR A LIFETIME.A RECENT HARVARD STUDY REPORTS THAT YOUTH ENROLLED IN BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS MENTORING PROGRAMS ACROSS THE NATION HAVE BETTER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES, HIGHER COLLEGE ENROLLMENT RATES, AND LOWER DROPOUT RATES. THIS LEADS TO INCREASES IN LIFE-TIME EARNINGS OF 15-20% COMPARED TO NON-MENTORED YOUTH. THAT'S MORE THAN JUST MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS IT'S A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THEIR LIFE-LONG PATH AND COMMUNITY IMPACT!

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.
