Big Brothers Big Sisters - Community and Site Based Mentoring
Little Brother Jay has been matched in our Community-Based program for over four years. During the course of the match, with support from his Big Brother, he has been steadily improving in several areas, especially academically. During his enrollment, he shared that he struggled specifically with math and would like help getting better in that area. Data collected through surveys and regular check-ins have indicated that he is doing much better, bringing his grades up from failing to passing in math and other subjects.
His Big has helped him on projects and assignments throughout the course of their match but also shows his support by attending Jay's extracurricular events, such as sporting events and orchestra concerts. Jay continues to strive towards academic improvement and has set personal goals towards that end, such as turning his assignments in on time. He is learning to hold himself accountable academically and has shared that he is seeing the benefits of putting in the effort to grow. His Big continues to be there to celebrate his achievements with him every step of the way.
