Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Big Brothers & Big Sisters, Children & Youth
Mission: Big brothers big sisters of dane county's mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Programs: In 2017, big brothers and big sisters of dane county (bbbs) provided 609 children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. Our 2017 youth outcomes survey of children enrolled in our program indicated that 92% of littles had higher educational expectations for their futures, 95% had positive peer relationships, and 97% reduced their attitudes toward risky behaviors. In 2017, we maintained an average match length of 49. 8 months (significantly greater than the 2017 national aml of 30. 5 months). A nationwide survey of young people from the national mentoring partnership found that youth (especially those who are at-risk) who have mentors are more likely to report engaging in productive and beneficial activities than youth without a mentor.
