ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF GREATER MIAMI IS THE PREMIER MENTORING ORGANIZATION THAT SEEKS TO STRENGTHEN, DEVELOP AND SECURE OUR FUTURE BY MATCHING VULNERABLE AT RISK CHILDREN WITH COMMITTED BIG BROTHERS AND BIG SISTERS WHO PROVIDE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS TO MENTOR THEM, HELPING THEM BECOME PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
PROGRAM. SPECIAL PROGRAMS: WE HAVE OTHER PROGRAM OPTIONS AVAILABLE, SUCH AS GROUP MENTORING, BIG FITNESS, BIGS IN BLUE, BIGS IN RED & MENTORING CHILDREN OF PROMISE (A TARGETED PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES A MENTOR FOR CHILDREN WITH AN INCARCERATED PARENT). THE MENTORING RESOURCE CENTER (MRC), A DIVISION OF BBBS, PROVIDES TRAINING, CONSULTATION AND VOLUNTEER REFERRAL SERVICES FOR A NETWORK OF 30-50 AGENCIES WHO SERVE CHILDREN IN NEED. ALL MATCHES ARE CAREFULLY SCREENED AND SUPERVISED BY OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL WORKERS. ALL SERVICES ARE FREE TO THE VOLUNTEERS AND CHILDREN, WHO ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE TICKETS AND SOCIAL/EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE OFFERED TO HELP MAKE THE "MATCH" A TRULY UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. NATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECTS INCLUDE: THRIVE YOUTH-CENTERED MATCH SUPPORT STUDY (FEDERAL FUNDING THROUGH THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE DELINQUENCY PREVENTION TO BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF AMERICA). THIS THREE- YEAR PROJECT (2011-2014) IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH BBBSA & UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS-CHICAGO AND THE THRIVE FOUNDATION. BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF GREATER MIAMI IS ONE OF 11 SITES PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT. THE MENTORING ENHANCEMENT GRANT (MEG) IS A 3-YEAR PROJECT (2012-2015) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BROWARD/PALM BEACH/MARTIN COUNTY BBBS AGENCIES. BBBS OF GREATER MIAMI SERVES AS THE FISCAL/PROGRAM LEAD. BBBSGM IS ONE OF 10 SITES ACROSS THE COUNTRY PARTICIPATING IN THIS NATIONAL PROJECT THAT INCLUDES AN EXTERNAL EVALUATION/RESEARCH COMPONENT. BBBSGM RECEIVED A STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PERFORMANCE BASED GRANT THAT WILL SERVE THE BOOKER T WASHINGTON FEEDER PATTERN SCHOOLS. THIS 1.5 MILLION AWARD (THROUGH JUNE 2014) IS IN COLLABORATION WITH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, CATALYST MIAMI, THE PARENT ACADEMY, OFFICE OF EDUCATION TRANSFORMATION, AND THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THROUGH THESE VARIOUS PROGRAMS, WE SERVED OVER 6,000 CHILDREN, PARENTS AND VOLUNTEERS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013. A TOTAL OF 2,119 MATCHES WERE SERVED DURING THE YEAR. OUR WAITING LIST CONTINUES TO EXCEED 1,000 CHILDREN DUE TO THE INCREASING DEMANDS IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE EFFECTS OF THE ECONOMIC RECESSION IN OUR COMMUNITY. OTHER IMPACT STATS INCLUDE: BBBS PROGRAMS PROVIDED ALMOST 10,000 YOUTH WITH A BIG BROTHER OR A BIG SISTER IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, POSITIVELY IMPACTING THEIR LIVES, THEIR FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITY. 95% OF OUR "CLASS OF 2013" BBBS GRADUATES ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND COLLEGE. OVER 1.2M IN SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED TO BBBS YOUTH OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS WITH MANY ATTENDING TOP RANKED UNIVERSITIES IN THE U.S. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS IN THEIR LIVES, MOST GRADUATES RESPOND BY SAYING, 'THEY SAVED ME' OR 'I WILL BE THE FIRST IN MY FAMILY TO GO TO COLLEGE AND ACHIEVE MY DREAMS.' THE LIFE-LONG IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAM HAS BEEN PROVEN THROUGH INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND THROUGH OUR ONGOING OUTCOME BASED PROGRAMMING WHERE WE SURVEY AND BASELINE OUR KIDS BEFORE AND AFTER THEY ARE MATCHED. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THAT KIDS IN THE BBBSGM PROGRAM PERFORM BETTER IN SCHOOL, RELATE BETTER TO THEIR PEERS, GAIN SELF CONFIDENCE, STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AND MANY GO TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND GO ON TO COLLEGE OR CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM. BBBSGM HAS BEEN DEEMED AN "EVIDENCE BASED YOUTH PREVENTION PROGRAM" IN MIAMI DADE COUNTY AND FROM THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION.
