Review for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Tampa, FL, USA
Bigs had a major influence on school life. More than three-quarters of grown Littles surveyed did better in school because of their Big, two-thirds agree that their Big helped them reach a higher level of education than they thought possibl...e, and half agree that their Big kept them from dropping out of high school…many alumni LIttles have achieved higher levels of education than their parents…and most went on to earn their four-year college degree or more.

If I had to make changes to this orgainzation, I would ensure every agency has the personal and resources needed to do this very important work. It is painful to know some agencies have had to reduce their service areas due to funding or fulling engaged community leadership.
