EQUITY & INCLUSION

Dear BBBS of NYC Community, As two proud New Yorkers who have built our careers, raised our families, and grounded our lives in this great city of access and opportunity, we are honored to act in service of young people as CEO and Board President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City (BBBS of NYC).

To love New York City is to love its people, including its youth, who are forging their own paths and teaching us how to lead in new ways. To care for the future of our city is to invest in creating meaningful connections and networks for its youth, so that the next generation of leaders can imagine and transform their biggest possibilities into reality.

Throughout its 118-year history, BBBS of NYC has matched generations of Littles with generations of Bigs to help them navigate an ever-evolving city.

Today, our Littles face challenges unique to this moment, and still, their resilience inspires us to do more as a community of mentors, advocates, partners, and donors.

ENGAGED & COMPASSIONATE

It is up to us as New Yorkers to ensure all youth—across diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities—have access to impactful mentorship. The relationships we create for our Littles and their Bigs—and which we help to grow longer and stronger—generate the excitement, curiosity, and social capital needed to ignite personal and professional success.

These connections that turn into opportunities embody the true essence of New York City. And like New Yorkers, our BBBS of NYC community shows up consistently and gives of itself every day.

The following pages highlight the many ways our youth mentoring programs and services illustrate the very essence of our New York City community. Because we know you care about this city as much as we do, we invite you to continue playing an active role in writing its next chapter by investing in the potential of young New Yorkers.

In partnership,

The College and Career Success Program (CCS) helps students, along with their mentors and families, navigate the transition to college and take steps toward achieving career goals. The CCS team provides college access resources for Littles while they are still in high school and,

upon their graduation, provides them with support to persist through college and develop the knowledge and social capital needed to break into their desired industries. Little Idalia and Big Melisa transitioned to CCS after three years in the Workplace Mentoring Program.

Idalia views Melisa as her role model and is thankful that Melisa helped her explore a range of career pathways. After a successful first year of college, Idalia was inspired to pursue a degree in marketing, just like her Big.

91% of our college freshman and sophomore Littles are on track to graduate within five years, with an average program GPA of nearly 3.1.

In partnership with precincts in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Upper Manhattan, Bigs in Blue is a collaboration with the NYPD that seeks to create and foster caring conversations between police officers and youth. The program is part of the NYPD’s Neighborhood Policing initiative, which aims to help officers connect with the communities they serve. Since its inception in 2017, Bigs in Blue has grown exponentially; in 2022, the program paired 158 youth with 48 officers across nine precincts. Together, youth and officers discuss community building and engagement, positive decision-making, internet safety, and effective communication.
