BIGS & LITTLES NYC MENTORING'S MISSION IS TO TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF CHILDREN THROUGH ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING, WHILE STRENGTHENING ENTIRE FAMILIES IN HARDSHIP. WE PROVIDE VULNERABLE NEW YORK CITY YOUTH AND FAMILIES - INCLUDING HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS SUCH AS HISPANIC IMMIGRANTS, FOSTER CARE YOUTH, AND CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED PARENTS - WITH THE SUPPORT AND TOOLS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. WE HAVE INTEGRATED SEVERAL ESTABLISHED TRADITIONS IN SOCIAL SERVICE WITH INNOVATIVE PRACTICES TO PROVIDE AN IMPROVED MENTORING MODEL, CONTINUOUSLY SEEKING NEW WAYS TO SERVE DISADVANTAGED YOUTH (LITTLES) THROUGH MENTORING BY SCREENED AND TRAINED VOLUNTEER MENTORS (BIGS) AND PROGRAMMING THAT RESPONDS TO THEIR CHANGING NEEDS. WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OURSELVES AS A LEADER IN THE FAMILY BASED APPROACH TO MENTORING BY PROVIDING CRISIS INTERVENTION TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY, ACADEMIC SUPPORT, AND LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMMING. WE REACH NEW YORK CITY CHILDREN AGE 7 TO 19 (PROVIDING SERVICES THROUGH COMPLETION OF THE CRITICAL FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE) AND THEIR FAMILIES, 90% OF WHOM LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE, 64% ARE SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS, AND 35% HAVE A HISTORY OF ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES INVOLVEMENT.
