IMPACT REPORT 2012 ››
Nick & Derrick ››
Growing up in Philadelphia can be difficult, especially when you live in an environment ravaged by
violence and poverty. Like so many Philadelphia youth, Little Brother Derrick faced these and many
more challenges. Losing the two primary male figures in his life to street violence, it wouldn’t be
surprising if Derrick fell victim to the overwhelming culture of despair plaguing his neighborhood
known as “The Bottom.”
Derrick’s life took a different path, however, in part thanks to Big Brother, Nick. Matched for more than
four years, Nick and Derrick have spent a lot of time together, looking beyond Derrick’s neighborhood
and current situation. Nick helped Derrick find better ways to deal with the bullies and peer pressure
in his school and focused his energies on positive outlets, like running and higher education. Now a
senior at Boys Latin of Philadelphia Charter School, Derrick will have a tough decision to make this
fall, as several colleges have expressed interest in him, and one university has already offered him a
full scholarship for cross country.
OUR MOTIVATION ››
Dear Friends,
For nearly a century, Big Brothers Big Sisters has worked with children facing an array of
adversity and transformed their lives through the simple power of relationships. Through
these intentional mentoring relationships, we have become many things.
We are a crime fighting organization – our program reduces incidences of violence and
delinquency among youth, which creates safer communities.
We are an educational organization – children in our program are less likely to skip
school and more likely to earn better grades and have higher educational aspirations.
We are an arts and culture organization – each year we expose thousands of children,
their mentors and families to the arts and humanities through an array of activities.
We are an organization that levels the playing field for those facing an uphill battle – we
focus on and support children living with multiple risk factors from poverty and violence to
family incarceration and failing schools.
And one that provides a respite for single parents – the overwhelming majority of our
children live in single parent households and lack a second positive adult role model in their
lives.
While we are many things to many people, we remain at our core a mentoring organization
and our work is fueled by the simple prospect that while all children have equal potential,
they do not have equal opportunity.
An army of volunteers provide the foundation for our work, but it is our donors who provide
our lifeblood. We cannot create these life-changing relationships without a professional
staff to recruit, screen, protect and support the children in our programs – all of which
require financial resources.
While this report is a testament to the impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring, it is
also a celebration and recognition of the many individuals, foundations, corporations and
businesses that make this impact possible.
We hope you enjoy reading the stories about your impact, and we look forward to working
together as we continue to support our region’s children and youth.
Thank you,
Mitchell Benson

our IMPACT ››
Southeastern Pennsylvania is home to some of
our nation’s best schools… and some of the worst.
There are pockets of affluence bordered by abject
poverty and some of the safest places to live are
mere miles from some of the most dangerous. Far
too many children only know what they see, and
so they struggle to dream beyond their current
circumstances. That’s where Big Brothers Big
Sisters comes in.
Last year, we created 1,020 new mentoring
relationships and supported nearly 3,000 mentoring
relationships in total. Add in the parents and
guardians we worked with, the teachers, principals
and guidance counselors, and you can quickly see
the impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mentoring
goes far beyond the individual relationships we
create; however, it is those individual relationships
that are at the core of everything we do.

Like many of the children we serve, Shaelyce is an
only child, living with her mother and grandmother
in a tough neighborhood. Her dad has been in
and out of jail, and her life. Circumstances that
made for a difficult and challenging childhood and
often saw Shaelyce struggling to belong and cope.
Recognizing these challenges, Shaelyce’s mother
signed her up for a Big Sister, hoping that another
positive role model in her life could make the
difference. Ten years later, Shaelyce and Debra are
still together, and the once shy little girl is now a
young woman on a mission.
The impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mentoring
goes far beyond a single child or neighborhood. When
children can see beyond their current circumstances,
it can change the world.
With support from their Big Brothers and
Big Sisters, children like Shaelyce are overcoming
numerous risk factors and succeeding:
88%
Plan on finishing high school*
80%
Plan on going to college*
95%
Saw positive academic impact*
* Youth Outcomes Survey, 2012
“Before big brothers Big
sisters, I didn’t see myself
being this intelligent. I’m
not like other kids my
age. I’m thinking about
Ivy League colleges. Debra
and I talk about the future,
and I’d like to go to
Harvard, Princeton, Yale
or MIT...”

Dan & Gabe ››
Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA: IMPACT REPORT 2012

While Little Brother Gabe lives in an environment surrounded by artistic,
nurturing women, his relationship with his father is “sporadic and unreliable...
so he lacked male companionship,” states Gabe’s mother Angela. “Gabe needed
to experience the positive elements of a male personality to grow up as a positive
young man.”

That’s where Dan came in. Together Dan and Gabe have attended sporting events,
played Wii games, undertaken yard work, and, as Gabe happily remembers,
played ping pong. “I’d never played before. First we were on the same team, but
then I got better so we played against each other. I think I even won!”
Gabe and Dan are both a bit shy, but after a few outings together, they opened
up and have been building their relationship ever since. “Enrolling Gabe in this
program gave him the opportunity to explore more of his personality,” Angela
continues. “Even the best parents that try really hard—there is only so much you
can do. Sometimes it takes a village, and we’re happy that Dan and Big Brothers
Big Sisters are in our village.”

Iman & Omar ››
Sixth grader Iman is a lot like many of the children we
serve in Southeastern PA. Living with a single mother
who works days, nights and weekends to ensure her
family has what it needs, Iman doesn’t have access
to many positive male adult role models. As with so
many of the kids in our program, that interaction is
something Iman eagerly sought. “I wanted to be with
someone because I was really lonely. I just wanted a
guy to talk and play with.”
That’s where Big Brother Omar came in. First matched
when Omar was a medical student, Iman says they
“bonded on the first day. We hit it right off!”
While struggling in school, Iman enjoyed learning, and
Omar helped him connect the dots between academics
and success in life. “Usually when I’d do something,
I would just give up if it wasn’t going my way,” Iman
says. “Omar says you should never give up. Like, if I’m
playing soccer and I’m losing, I should still play my
hardest because I’ll make myself better in the end.”
“Omar is such an inspiration for him,” exclaims Iman’s
mother, Salima. After earning a 92 percent average in
school, Iman’s self-confidence has blossomed. “It’s a
phenomenal privilege to be a part of Big Brothers Big
Sisters. On my part, it’s so comforting to know my child
will be somewhere for four hours having a great time
with someone who is making such a positive impact in
his life. That’s worth its weight in gold.”
Iman agrees, saying, “since I met Omar, I have gone
places and seen things that I didn’t even know existed.
I see Omar as my real big brother—I count him as
family.”
