Our Community-Based Program allows us to reach children throughout Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro who need an adult role model in their lives. Community-Based Bigs routinely provide two hours a week of quality one-to-one time for their Littles for at least one year, These Bigs play an integral role in the lives of their Littles by being good listeners, by giving the Littles a stable adult role model to help guide them in the right direction, and by exposing the Littles to a variety of cultural, community, and sporting activities. Our School-Based program allows school counselors and teachers to refer children who are struggling with class work or need extra attention to build better social skills and improve classroom behavior. Many of the children referred to our School-Based Mentoring Program are academically at risk — struggling with negative perceptions of school and teachers, time management, focusing, and test preparation. School-Based mentors are trained to work with their Littles to offer a positive perspective on school, model productive study habits, and encourage improved relationships with teachers and other adults. In 2016, 14% of our Littles and 15% of our Bigs were located in Orange County. Results of our 2016 Youth Outcomes Survey show that social acceptance, risk attitudes, scholastic competency, and parental trust, among others, are markedly improved in our Littles after just one year in our program. This is proof that our program helps to prevent young people from going down the wrong path, making our community safer and more successful. PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/27/2017 1:43:18 PM Page 15 of 24
