Community-Based Mentoring Program
COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING PROGRAM - IN 2022, WE CREATED OVER 100 NEW MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN YOUTH AND CARING ADULT MENTORS. COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS INVOLVE ONE-ON-ONE OUTINGS AND ACTIVITIES, LIKE GOING TO A BADGER SPORTING EVENT, TAKING A WALK IN THE PARK, VISITING A MUSEUM, OR COOKING TOGETHER. SOME BIGS MEET WITH THEIR LITTLES ON THE WEEKENDS. OTHERS GET TOGETHER WITH THEIR LITTLES ON WEEKDAY EVENINGS. EACH MATCH IS UNIQUE AND DEVELOPS A SCHEDULE THAT WORKS FOR THEM. THE AVERAGE MATCH LENGTH IS 40 MONTHS OR CLOSE TO 3 YEARS! EACH MATCH IS SUPERVISED AND SUPPORTED BY ONE OF OUR FIVE MATCH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS. MATCH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS CARRIED OUT 4,472 CONVERSATIONS IN 2022 WITH PARENTS, LITTLES, AND BIGS TO ENSURE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS ARE THRIVING.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$510.9KVolunteer Recruitment And Enrollment

IN THE FALL SEMESTER OF 2022, WE LAUNCHED MENTORU AT MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL. MENTORU'S MISSION IS TO HELP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DEVELOP PERSONAL, ACADEMIC, AND CAREER SKILLS BY PROVIDING EACH STUDENT WITH A VOLUNTEER MENTOR WITH EXPERIENCE IN VARIOUS AREAS. THE MENTORU CLASS AND THE MENTORS WILL OFFER EXTRA OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES TO STUDENTS REGARDING CAREER EXPLORATION, COLLEGE ADMISSION GUIDANCE, AND FUTURE PLANNING. WE MATCHED 13 STUDENTS WITH A VOLUNTEER ADULT MENTOR BASED ON SHARED CAREER AND/OR PERSONAL INTERESTS. ONCE A WEEK, STUDENTS HAVE MENTORU CLASS TIME TO COMPLETE A WEEKLY LESSON AND COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR MENTOR BY SENDING AN ONLINE MESSAGE VIA THE BBBS MESSAGING TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM. STUDENTS AND MENTORS DISCUSS VARIOUS TOPICS IN THEIR WEEKLY MESSAGES, SUCH AS PERSEVERANCE, CRITICAL THINKING, SELF-ADVOCACY, AND GOAL SETTING.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$39.9K
