2013 Annual Report - Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City

OUR VALUES
BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF MENTORING
We believe the relationships between Bigs and Littles are life-changing and help prepare
children for successful futures. BBBS of NYC provides quality, safe mentoring experiences
for the children of the 5 boroughs, their families, and the Bigs who mentor them.
We also believe in sharing our experience and expertise with other organizations
and individuals looking to make a difference.
PUT THE KIDS FIRST
Children represent the future of our society, and BBBS of NYC is all about protecting
the futures of children. We must judge everything we do by its end benefit to the
Littles we serve. We must surround the Littles with as much positivity as possible.
BE EXCELLENT
Excellence comes in many forms and should be embraced by all departments.
Individuals and teams must strive for the highest quality and treat their
co-workers with the utmost respect.

RONNIE’S STORY
“A year ago, I had no idea what BBBS of NYC was – what
it would be like,” Ronnie confided. “But I can honestly say
becoming a Little made a significant change in my life
after just the first day.”
Ronnie came to the US about six years ago. Unable to
speak any English, she had to learn it on her own. Having
a Big who is also Asian really helped her. As Ronnie
explains, “Alice helps me understand American culture vs.
Chinese culture. She gives me a good perspective based
on her own experiences.”
Since Ronnie and Alice were both interested in science
and technology, Alice thought the tech event Maker
Faire would be a good first day together. “I saw a
demonstration of 3-D printing and had the chance to
control a robot.” Ronnie continues, “After this trip, I was
inspired to pursue a career in technology.”
How our New American
Program benefits the rest
of the family.
Dreams are contagious. When siblings see
a Little working towards a dream, they are
inspired to do the same thing. Parents also
have the added support system of another

Ronnie & Alice
“Alice is a positive female role model for me,” Ronnie
said. “She’s not only shown me that women can get
great jobs in the field of technology, she taught me
how to bowl.”
ALICE’S STORY
“Ronnie reminds me of myself when I was younger.”
Alice goes on to explain, “Not many girls are interested
in technology. Since that is my field, I was thrilled to be
matched with someone with the exact same interests.”
When asked why she became a Big, Alice explains,
“I never had an older sibling to share experiences
with. Even though we’ve only been together for a few
months, I can already see the impact I’m having on
Ronnie’s life. This is a great program for immigrant kids.”
Today, with Alice’s help, Ronnie is enrolled in the Code
Now Program, a non-profit tech program for high school
students. And she’s saving her money from her part-time
job in a bakery to buy her dream robot kit.

RUBEN’S STORY
“Meeting my Big for the first time was like going to a
new school. It was both exciting and scary.” Ruben adds,
“I didn’t really have any expectations of what it would be
like having a Big Brother, but today I really feel like Eric is
my big brother. He’s part of my family now.”
“For kids who don’t have much, having a Big is a great
opportunity.” Ruben explains, “Being part of BBBS of
NYC really motivates you to try new things.” One thing it
motivated Ruben to do was to attend a summer camp in
New Hampshire. Eric was able to get Ruben a scholarship
to the same camp that he went to when he was a kid.
“Here I am thirteen years old and never been out of New
York City.” Ruben says, “Suddenly I’m on my way to a
camp in New Hampshire.”
When Ruben arrived at Camp Deerwood he learned that
in order to participate in the camp’s water activities he
would have to complete a six hundred yard swim across
the lake. (For those of us who are not so good at math,
that’s the equivalent of swimming twelve lengths of an
Olympic-sized pool.) Unfortunately, Ruben had a near
drowning experience when he was younger and never
learned to swim. But according to Ruben, “My dream was
to make it across that lake before I left camp.” And he was

When kids have a dream, they’re more
focused on doing everything they can
to achieve it. Their attendance in school
improves. Their grades stabilize or go up.
And they’re more likely to graduate and
go on to college. When other classmates

many decide to follow.

determined to do it. At first he was nervous.
He was short and the water was deep. But every day
the counselors worked with him to help him overcome
his fear. Three days before he left camp, he stepped into
the water and began swimming towards his dream.
When asked if that was his most memorable
experience as a Little, Ruben quickly responded,
“No, it was when I beat Eric at a game of basketball.”
Eric, on the other hand, can’t seem to recall that event
ever happening.
ERIC’S STORY
“I wanted to be a role model for someone. What
I didn’t realize was how rewarding and gratifying it
would be for me as well.” Eric continued, “Helping
others who aren’t as fortunate as you really puts
things in perspective.”
What does Eric remember most about his four years as
Ruben’s Big? “Ruben was in the hospital and I would
stop by and visit with him every day,” Eric said.
“It sounds like such a simple thing, but after he
recovered, Ruben told me that he wouldn’t
have been able to get through it without me.
I was so touched.”

ILIA’S STORY
When Ilia was matched with her Big, she was already
seventeen and a mom. “I didn’t expect much from having
a Big,” Ilia confesses. “But now I doubt that I would be
where I am today without Nicole.”
When asked how Nicole impacted her life, Ilia explains,
“I call Nicole first if I need anything. She’s my go-to
person.” Ilia continued, “Whether I need help with school
work, my job, a resume, Nicole is always there for me.
Always pushing me to move forward. Encouraging me
to continue.”
Since her match with Nicole, Ilia has already passed the
General Educational Development (GED) test to earn her
high school equivalency. She will earn her associate’s
degree by the end of the year. In addition to going to
school and being a mom, Ilia also works to help support
her and her daughter.
“Nicole mentored by example,” said Ilia. “I saw what she
did and was inspired to follow. She helped me broaden
my horizon.” As soon as she earns her associate’s degree,
Ilia plans on transferring to the City University of
New York to get her Bachelors and then her Masters in
Child Psychology. “Thanks to Nicole,” Ilia says excitedly,
“I realized this wasn’t something beyond my reach.”
Today, Ilia introduces Nicole to everyone as her sister,
not her friend. “She’s not just my Big, she’s my family,”
explains Ilia.

NICOLE’S STORY
“I always enjoyed doing volunteer work with my
company, but those were one day things,” Nicole says as
she explains why she became a Big. “I was looking for
something more meaningful. I wanted to do something
that had a more lasting effect.”
So what did she think when she became Ilia’s Big?
“I wasn’t really sure about working with a young
mother. I was only twenty-nine. I thought it was going
to be really hard for me.” Nicole continued, “I had no
idea how much I would enjoy spending time with her.
She’s one of my best friends at this point.”
Of course, Ilia isn’t the only one that has learned some
valuable lessons from their time together. “Now I have
a completely different perspective on someone else’s
experience,” Nicole says. “It reminds me that everyone is
going through something different. I need to
cut people some slack.”

THEIR STORY
For the past four years, Maria, Michelle, Brenda, Yesenia,
as well as several of their male classmates, have been
paired with Bigs. During that time they’ve gotten a taste
of life after high school. “We’ve learned about colleges,
networking, we’ve practiced public speaking,” says
Yesenia. Maria quickly added, “We’ve even done mock
interviews to learn how to talk and express ourselves
when we look for a job.”
But of all the skills they’re learning, they realized there
was one that they didn’t have to wait until after high
school to use — mentoring. “Like most schools there
was a lot of fighting among the students.” Maria explains,
“So we all decided to start a peer mentoring program
to see if we could get everyone to agree not to fight.”
Whenever a fight would break out, the kids involved
would be brought into a room with a trained mediator to
talk the issue out rather than resort to fighting. Brenda
proudly exclaims, “Since the start of our mentoring
program, fighting in our school has
decreased significantly.”
Buoyed by their success, the girls decided not to stop
there. “We also started a Big Sis, Little Sis program
at our school.”Yesenia continues, “We team up
students who are Juniors with our Freshmen to be
their mentors while they’re in school.” Adds Michelle,
“It’s someone they can talk to about any problems
they’re having, if they need help with their studies,
or just need a friend.” Obviously, these girls really
learned a lot from their workplace mentors, including
how to be one themselves.

KEYANNA’S STORY
“The first time I met my Big we went to the Central Park
Zoo. I had never been there before.” Keyanna said, “I didn’t
know what having a Big was going to be like. I didn’t
realize it would be so much fun. I thought it would only
be in-home activities, not going out and doing things.”
“Where I live, I can’t safely ride a bike, ” Keyanna
explained, “so when we went to Governor’s Island and I
saw all these people riding bikes, I asked Madelyne if we
could, too.” Since Keyanna never really rode a bike before,
she had to ride with training wheels. Even so, Keyanna
enjoyed it so much that riding a bike became a part of
almost every outing they went on together. And during
these trips, riding a bike wasn’t all that Keyanna was
learning. “I was having trouble with math. Subtraction
was hard. I needed to use my hands to add,” Keyanna
confided. “Madelyne would bring math books and we
would work on my math together.”
It took a long time for Keyanna to build up her confidence
but eventually she announced to Madelyne that she
was ready to live out her dream and ride a bike without
training wheels. “I was really scared that I would fall,”
Keyanna admitted. “But having Madelyne right beside
me made it easier. I was so proud of myself.” And Keyanna
wasn’t the only one. “When I told my family what I did,”
she added, “my mother and my older brothers were
really proud of me, too!”
MADELYNE’S STORY
“My children were all grown,” said Madelyne as she
explained why she became a Big. “I thought I could
use my experience as a mom to have a positive impact
on another child’s life.” It turns out Madelyne actually
got more back than she gave. According to Madelyne,
“Seeing New York City through the eyes of a child has
been life-enhancing.”
What moment stands out most during her time as
Keyanna’s Big? “Our first trip to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art,” Madelyne explains. “Keyanna
was enthralled with modern art. She gave me
her interpretations of each piece. It was such a
heartwarming experience.”

EMILY’S STORY
“I became a Little at the age of nine,” Emily says of her
experience with BBBS of NYC. “The positive influence
I received during this time has encouraged me to play
the same role in another child’s life.”
Although they don’t communicate as much now as they
did when Emily was younger, her Big, Deena, made an
everlasting impression on Emily’s life. “She exposed me
to arts and crafts, theater, animals, history, and modern
dance. She opened my eyes to a lot that existed,” Emily
says fondly. ”Although I was only a Little, even back then
I knew I wanted to be someone else’s ‘Deena’ someday.”
Emily believes her successes in life are the direct result
of the positive influence Deena had. “Deena was
compassionate, loving, and a resource,” Emily said.
“Thanks to her I was admitted to an amazing high school
in New York (The Beacon School), attended a great
college (Canisius College), and will be pursuing graduate
studies at Georgetown University.”
“My dream has always been to inspire,” Emily continues.
“I am happy to finally become a Big and have the
opportunity to encourage a Little to dream Big.
It makes me feel like I’m making a difference.”
BRIANA’S STORY
“My brother already had a Big. I thought it would be
nice to also have one,” Briana explains. “I was hoping
to get someone I could talk to. Someone I could
look up to.”
Twelve-year old Briana is very excited about their
match. “ We’re both Latina. She was once a Little.
We have a lot in common,” says Briana. “By having the
same background, she can relate to what my life is like.
And with her as my role model, I can dream of what
my life can be like in the future.”

he needed.
JUSTIN’S STORY
“All I really wanted by having a Big was to get out of
the house more. Have more freedom,” Justin admitted.
“But I got so much more out of it than that.”
Soon after being matched with Byron, Justin confided in
him that he wanted to become more confident speaking
in front of others. Referring to his speech difficulties,
Justin said, “I was really shy talking in front of other
people. I really wanted to overcome that.”
To help him work towards his dream, Byron decided to
bring Justin to the HSBC Writing Workshop. To Byron’s
surprise, after a few exercises Justin quickly became one
of the first Littles to always raise his hand and volunteer
to share his stories. And once he heard the applause, his
confidence soared. When asked what his plans are for the
future Justin quickly responded, “I want to study film.”
That’s quite a leap forward for a shy teenager who used
to have trouble talking in front of people.
So what’s his favorite memory so far from being a Little?
“Going with Byron to Great Adventure and making him
ride on all the roller coasters with me,” Justin exclaimed.
Turns out, Byron isn’t a big fan of roller coasters, but he
wasn’t going to let his Little show him up.
BYRON’S STORY
“You never know the impact you can have on others,”
Byron explains. “What seems insignificant to you can be
something really big to someone else.”
As for his expectations for being a Big, Byron confides,
“I was a little worried about who I would be matched
to. I was thrilled to meet Justin.” Byron continued,
“It really is a true friendship. We’ve become a part of
each other’s lives.”
So what is Byron’s fondest memory of being a Big?
It was when Justin called him on his birthday. Byron
said, “I was just so touched that he remembered.”

BIG ALUMNI, LATINO BIGS
Iris was a paralegal in a corporate law firm. “As a Latino woman
I was very lucky. Many in my community never go to college or
even out of the neighborhood,” Iris explained. “I wanted to give
back to my community in some way.”
The giving back started when she walked through the doors at
BBBS of NYC. By becoming a Big, she had the opportunity to
dramatically affect the lives of two Littles. “The fact that one lived
right in the city and had never been to Central Park was a real eye
opener,” says Iris. “I knew then I wanted to dedicate my life
to helping others.”
TO HELP OTHERS.
CANDICE MILLER
BIG ALUMNI, BIGS UNITED
Helping others is in Candice’s DNA. Whether it was
tutoring, community service, or becoming a Big, it was
always an important part of her life. Candice just didn’t
realize how important helping was.
According to Candice, “When you become a Big you only
think it’ll impact a Little’s life. You don’t expect it to have
an impact on your life as well.” But after several years
as a Big with two different Littles, Candice found that
the experience changed her. “It solidified my passion
for public service. I wanted to take it to the next level,”
Candice explained. “I wanted to be more involved in
helping others outside of being a Big.”
That’s when Candice decided to do something few of us
would ever be brave enough to do. She quit her job at
Comedy Central. And went back to school full-time to get
her Master’s in Public Administration.
Even though her role as a Big had come to an end when
she started school, Candice continued to look for other
ways to help BBBS of NYC. She found it in one of our
Affinity Groups — Bigs United. “As one of the leaders
of Bigs United, I help BBBS of NYC reach out to the black
community to encourage and attract positive role models
for black youth.” Candice continues, “Since they have the
same background and experiences as the youth in their
communities, it’s very important to reach out to black
men and encourage them to become Bigs. We would
go out and hold special events like our Black History
event to educate them on the rewards of being a Big
and encourage them to join.”
As Candice sees it, “Even though I’m no longer an
active Big, I’m still doing something to help someone.
Just in a different way.”
ELANDRIA JACKSON
BIG ALUMNI, BIGS UNITED
Going from successful advertising executive at a
New York marketing firm to full-time student may
seem like a big career move to a lot of people, but to
Elandria it made perfect sense.
“I was only twenty-three when I first became a Big,”
Elandria said. “I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but decided
to take the plunge.” Elandria was a Big to her Little
for eight years. Over the course of the relationship
she learned patience and empathy. She also learned
something else. “Being a Big didn’t just have an
impact on my Little, it had an impact on me.” Elandria
confided, “I felt like I was really contributing to a
mission. Planting a seed. Investing in something.”
elly
Iris & Dasn
ELANDRIA’S STORY CONTINUED...
Candice & Leah
Being a Big fueled her desire to do more. That’s when Elandria
decided to quit her job and go back to school to earn her
Master’s in Public Administration. “Initially I planned on
working full-time and attending grad school part-time,”
Elandria explains. “But then I decided I didn’t want to wait that
long so I became a full-time student instead.”
In addition to being a Big alumni, Elandria was also one of
the first members of the BBBS of NYC Affinity group, Bigs
United. Using her marketing expertise, she’s helped Bigs
United develop programs and community events to help
communicate the importance of becoming a black role model
to the youth in their community.
Looking back Elandria admits, “Advertising just wasn’t
what I saw myself doing for the rest of my life. Being a
Big and being part of Bigs United has been a much more
fulfilling experience.”
While she was a Big, Iris noticed something interesting about the
Latino community. “Many minority parents wanted Bigs who had
the same ethnicity as their children,” Iris explained. “If parents
speak Spanish and the Bigs don’t, how can they communicate?”
Unfortunately, in the Latino community, there weren’t a lot of
volunteers to become mentors. Which meant many kids couldn’t
get matched. “Some Latino Littles were on the waiting list for as
long as a year,” exclaimed Iris. “Over time they lost interest in being
a Little. This is where the idea of forming the BBBS of NYC affinity
group Latino Bigs came from.”
It started with fifteen people putting their heads together to figure
out how to increase volunteerism among the Latino community.
Thanks to the community programs and events created by Latino
Bigs, the percentage of volunteers and Latino mentors increased
by 87% in just three years.
Wanting to do even more, Iris also launched the Bronx Volunteer
Coalition because there weren’t enough volunteers in her Bronx
neighborhood to mentor all the kids who wanted one.
Realizing that being a paralegal wasn’t her true calling, Iris quit her
job and enrolled in the NYU grad school for public service full-time.
“What I’ve done impacted people,” Iris said proudly. “I can see the
good I’ve done in the community. And I want to continue doing it.”
Iris wasn’t the only one who saw the positive impact she was
having on the community. Last year, she was honored by
Comité Noviembre for her volunteer service to her community.

Our Education Initiative provides the resources and
support our Littles need to achieve academic success.
In partnership with the City University of New York’s
College Now program, Signet Tutoring, and Graph It
Forward, we offer academic enrichment programs to
all of our Littles that include comprehensive collegereadiness workshops for high school Littles. We also have
computer tutoring stations for Littles to work on school
projects, study various academic subjects, and prepare
for the SAT and ACT. For our struggling Littles, we create
thoughtful action-oriented academic intervention plans.
Community Impact Matches
at C.A.S.T.L.E. Middle School
To bring our proven modality of mentoring to the
forefront of New York City education, we have launched
a Community Impact program to provide 6th and 7th
grade students within one school community with a Big
until they enter high school. We plan on launching a high
school Community Impact program in the spring of 2014.
We take a holistic approach to education that involves
working with our partners, parents, families, support
staff, Bigs and schools to support our Littles.

ASIAN MENTORING
COMMITTEE
With a focus on our city’s Asian immigrant
community, this affinity group has helped
many young Asian immigrant youth feel
more comfortable in their new country. Its
three hundred ninety members also focus
on fostering stronger bonds between Bigs,
Littles, and their families.

Affinity Groups consist of former Bigs, current Bigs, and peop
to people in their neighborhoods to spread the
monthly meetings, hold special community events, and talk
word and attract recruits.
LATINO BIGS
Its two hundred seventy-five members
focus on reaching out to residents of Latino
neighborhoods. In addition to forming
partnerships with the Latino Affinity
Networks at Ogilvy, Avon, Cablevision,
and Macy’s, they also work with Tri-Latino,
Phi Iota Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha, and the
United Latino Professionals.
ALUMNI NETWORK
BIGS UNITED
Finding volunteers who are interested
in being positive role models to our city’s
black youth is the goal for this affinity
group. With four hundred fourteen
members, it’s the largest of the Affinity
groups and the dedication of its members
has helped recruit many new Bigs.
Although no longer matched with a Little, these
Bigs continue to help us by sharing their stories,
experiences, and advice with new Bigs as they go
through the initial orientation and training sessions
before they become matched. Alumni Bigs also
volunteer their time to mentor our new mentors.
In addition, this year we launched our Littles
Alumni program, encouraging Littles to maintain
a lifelong relationship with the agency.
THE YOUNG
PROFESSIONALS
COMMITTEE
Over the course of the year, this group of
volunteers holds a variety of fundraising and
recruitment activities. Since its inception, this
group has raised hundreds of thousands of
dollars in donations for BBBS of NYC.

BRONX VOLUNTEER
COALITION
28% of the children in BBBS of NYC’s programs live

Bronx Volunteer Coalition was formed to help us close
the gap. Made up of over thirty diverse volunteer
organizations including Jumpstart, the Bronx
Museum, Lift - The Bronx, and South Bronx United,
this coalition was founded in 2012.
