From Our Leadership Thank you for being an incredible supporter of young people. Your support is improving outcomes for youth in our programs every day. As you know, 2021 continued to be a challenging year for our entire community. As we weathered ongoing Covid-19 spikes and continued isolation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound continued our critical work of supporting mentors, youth and their families. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound served 1,276 mentoring matches during 2021. That’s no small feat in these times. And we continued to make new matches—interviewing potential mentors via Zoom, making match introductions virtually, and helping kids and mentors stay connected through phone calls, texts, snail mail, email…you name it. Flexibility and commitment to youth have been our guideposts as we navigated the year. Your continued support made that possible. We met schools and youth where they were at, continuing site-based programming with consistency and responsiveness throughout ongoing changes in school and district policies. We navigated these changes thoughtfully – ensuring that youth and mentors were getting what they needed from us no matter the channel. Your support helped launch the incredible Alpha Forum program with the partnership of the Tacoma chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Together we created a safe place for BIPOC male youth to speak their minds and explore important topics with male BIPOC leaders.
The Pathways and MentorU programs you funded helped youth build real-life skills, explore careers and post-secondary educational options, and prepared them for life after high school. Your commitment to youth and to Big Brothers Big Sisters paid off in positive outcomes for young people. 96% of youth in our programs improved or maintained their educational expectations, and 100% of our seniors graduated from high school. This is critical when evidence shows that graduating high school continues to be the single most powerful indicator in lifelong positive outcomes. At a time when youth mental health is at all-time lows, 81% of youth in our programs improved or maintained their overall mental health, with 31.5% actually experiencing fewer depressive symptoms. That’s hundreds of kids whose mental health improved during a time when youth mental health was declining in our community. Your support did that, and we are so thankful for you. You know that Big Brothers Big Sisters professionally supports kids, their families, and mentors throughout the entire length of a match—whether it’s one year or ten years. You make it possible. Your investment ensures that young people have a mentor to help them build their own futures and fulfill their dreams. Thank you!

Who We Are Strong words and a powerful sentiment inspired the founding of what we now know as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound in 1957. “No man stands so straight as when he stoops to help a boy.” The organization began as Big Brothers and was focused on serving young men and boys without fathers in the home. In 1973, a group of social work students founded a parallel organization, Puget Sound Big Sisters, to support girls from single-parent and low-income homes. The two organizations merged in 1999, and over time our mission became fully inclusive of youth anywhere on the gender spectrum. Our understanding of the founding sentiment has grown and changed with time, but what has remained constant is the underlying principle that connecting with and supporting young people is the most powerful thing adults can do. With that principle driving us, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound (BBBSPS) creates, supports, and monitors matches between adult volunteers, who we call “Bigs”, and young people, who we sometimes call “Littles”. Parents and guardians are also vital partners in building and sustaining these match relationships.

Young People in Our Programs We proudly serve a broad range of young people throughout the Puget Sound region – in Pierce, Kitsap and King Counties. Many of these youth are referred to us by parents, school counselors and other service providers and are disproportionately impacted by systemic injustice and oppression. Youth in our programs are brilliant and resilient. They are half of the mentorship whole. Youth show mentors what adults tend to forget – how to play, to enjoy the small things, and find wonder in everything life has to offer.

youth-mentor matches engaged
Our site-based programs connect youth and mentors in one-to-one and group mentoring environments at corporate offices and schools throughout the Puget Sound.
We partner with Amazon for Beyond School Walls – a program connecting youth and mentors in group settings at Beacon Hill & Dunlap Elementaries. Our MentorU program helps youth explore college and career readiness with mentors at Interlake & West Seattle High Schools. We partner with Tacoma Public Schools for school-based programs at McCarver and Delong elementary schools. Through these programs, students meet with mentors on a weekly one-to-one basis during school breaks or after school. Although the school buildings closed down during the pandemic, we were able to shift many of these matches to a virtual connection and continue their support of each other. Our school-based programs in Tacoma will relaunch in the fall of 2022.

Match of the Year
DIONNE + KAHMONI IN THEIR OWN WORDS KAHMONI – LITTLE I have learned a lot of things from my Big Sister. I learned that I can be confident. When I was a child I used to be super insecure about everything. Dionne taught me that I can be beautiful in my own skin. She taught me I can be strong at my lowest moments and that people are always there for me. She has also told me that I have shown her how much I have to say and think about important issues. I am young; some might still call me a kid. I have big ideas and big feelings about the world. She says I’m sharp and she’s opened her heart and mind to listening to younger people to see what they think or feel. My future is such an exciting thing to think about. There is so much I want to do and see. First, I will graduate high school in two and a half years. For a long time, I have wanted to become a singer. I still have that dream, but now I am interested in some other stuff as well. I tell others that I feel so lucky to have been placed with Dionne as my match. We took a lot of time getting to know one another and now seven years later, I feel like we’re family. She comes into my house and plops down on the couch and visits with my mom for hours. If I had never had a Big, I may not have as much confidence in my ability to speak my mind. I may not love myself as much. Having someone in my corner that is not necessarily family by blood helps me believe in myself.
DIONNE - BIG Kahmoni has become a very important person in my life and impacted me in ways I didn’t see coming. Each time we get together I am eager to hear how her week went. I love to talk to her about problems she’s having and also talk about the fun and exciting things going on. She is the youngest person in my life that I consider a friend. Not just a Little Sister. Our match has affected me in ways I didn’t expect. I came into the program feeling ready to help this young lady navigate life living between two homes and changing schools. What I did not expect was my Little showing me a fresh perspective on so many things. Things so minute as just smiling at someone to see their face light up. Kahmoni has made me laugh at the silliest things. We sing to the radio in the car at the top of our lungs and then we’ll turn to look at one another and we just burst out laughing. She can pull me out of the dumps instantly. She was one of my biggest cheerleaders while going through chemotherapy and radiation for cancer. Her impact on my life has been immeasurable. She’s so in tune with the bigger picture, as in being kind to people. Even offering a helping hand at school when needed. I have watched Kahmoni grow into the most beautiful young lady over the last seven years. I am proud of the person she was and who she is becoming. She’s family now.

Mentors in Our Programs Bigs are people just like you who live and work throughout the Puget Sound region. They are your friends and neighbors, and they are out in the community being mentors. They’re going to the basketball court, hiking the trails, seeing the sights, and connecting with their Littles online. Bigs are regular people who make the commitment to share new experiences with youth – creating life-long memories as they grow and learn together. Youth are learning from their mentors and mentors are learning too. Ask any Big and they’ll tell you they grow right along with their Little. They’ll share memories of building friendships, of giving advice, of taking advice, and how they’ve learned skills to carry with them in other areas of life. Here are just a few examples of where some of our Bigs show up in the working world:

COMMUNITY PARTNERS Thank you! Community Partners BCRA 2021 COMMUNITY PARTNER OF THE YEAR BCRA has been an outstanding partner over the past six years. In those six years, BCRA has shown up for youth in every way. They’ve sponsored and attended every one of our major events, as well as initiating a new major event in Kickoff for Kids, a premier event to celebrate our youth and raise awareness and support for mentoring in the Pierce County community. BCRA has been a key partner in our sitebased program at McCarver Elementary providing the central pool of mentors for the lunch time program. Their commitment to youth is found at every level of the organization – many of the senior leadership are mentors who have inspired their staff to become Bigs as well. BCRA is generous in all ways, donating nearly $20,000 during these six years as well as offering invaluable support with video production and sharing their meeting spaces. It is important to us to recognize BCRA because they embody a special level of community commitment - bringing creativity and forward thinking to how to walk with youth and families and demonstrating that commitment through giving their time, their talent, and their treasure. Thank you, BCRA, for all of your support!
