“As leaders and members of this community, it falls upon us to ensure every young New Yorker has the chance to form meaningful mentoring relationships”

Alicia Guevara Chief Executive Officer

LETTER FROM OUR CEO Dear BBBS of NYC Community, As a fellow New Yorker deeply rooted in this vibrant City, I am continually inspired by the spirit and potential of our young people. New York City, a place of boundless opportunity, is at its heart defined by its inhabitants, especially our promising youth. Their dreams and aspirations are the lifeblood of this great City. As the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City, I have the privilege of witnessing the profound impact we can make as mentors, advocates, donors, trustees, partners, and connectors in nurturing these young minds.

As leaders and members of our community, it falls upon us to ensure every young New Yorker has the chance to form meaningful mentoring relationships. These connections, transcending gender, age, race, ethnicity, and experience, are not just a reflection of our City’s diversity but its very essence. The aspirations of our youth, the dedication of our Bigs, the trust of parents and guardians, the support of our donors and corporate partners, and the strength of our community collectively embody the spirit of New York City.

In the following pages, you will discover stories and insights highlighting how our commitment to youth mentoring is not just a part of BBBS of NYC’s legacy but a vibrant chapter in the larger narrative of New York City. Your continued involvement and support are vital in nurturing the future prospects of our young people. As we continue this journey together, let us remain focused on our mission – igniting potential in every young New Yorker, shaping a future as bright and dynamic as the City itself.

In part partnership and with heartfelt gratitude,

Alicia icia D. Guevara CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC

OUR PROGRAMS Community Based Mentoring Program The Community Based Mentoring Program is our traditional one-to-one mentoring program, where Bigs and Littles use New York City as their playground for personal, academic, and social development. Matches adventure on outings together while working toward achieving S.M.A.R.T. goals that range from self-confidence to relationship building.

Workplace Mentoring Program For over three decades, the Workplace Mentoring Program has matched high school students with mentors from among our 64 partner companies. Matches follow a curriculum, facilitated by a BBBS of NYC Program Manager, that engages Littles in developing social-emotional learning skills, identifying strengths, and preparing for post-secondary opportunities.

College and Career Success Program 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.

The New American Program BBBS of NYC is committed to advancing inclusive practices and programming. The New American Program (NAP) brings awareness

4

of BBBS of NYC mentoring services to Chinese-, Korean-, and Spanish-speaking communities by providing bilingual Program Managers who equip matches with culturally competent supports and resources. The Immigration and Language Access Initiative leads diverse cultural celebrations for our NAP matches. It also provides translation and language access services for our Littles and their families.

The LGBTQ+ Initiative The LGBTQ+ Initiative focuses on building affirmation and inclusion through program innovation, such as our open gender-matching policy, and partners with LGBTQ+ organizations to provide targeted learning opportunities that ensure staff, Bigs, and families are prepared to support the diverse needs of LGBTQ+ youth.

Bigs in Blue In partnership with police precincts in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, 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 2023, 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.

Katie and Rahi have been matched since Fall of 2021 and hit it off right off the bat!

They have grown closer together while exploring post-secondary planning as Rahi enters her senior year of high school. She hopes to become an EMT/ firefighter as well as study biology. Rahi loves teaching Katie about all things Taylor Swift and appreciates that Katie is eager to learn about her interests no matter how big or small.

BIGS IN BLUE

IS 313/339 Littles and the NYPD 42nd Precinct The Bigs in Blue program, a flourishing collaboration between IS 313/339 and the NYPD 42nd Precinct, exemplifies the power of community partnerships in the Bronx.

Since its inception in 2018, this initiative has been fostering relationships between law enforcement officers and students in grades 6-8. Recognized for their exceptional commitment, the officers from the 42nd Precinct were honored as “Rookies of the Year” at the annual BBBS of NYC Volunteer Recognition Ceremony. Over the past six years, the program has ignited a new wave of enthusiasm among students, eagerly vying for the opportunity to engage and learn from their local police officers.
