THE BBBSL BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETS EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR TWO (2) HOURS WITH RARE AD HOC BOARD MEETINGS CONVENED, AS NECESSARY. ADDITIONALLY, MOST BOARD MEMBERS ACTIVELY FUNDRAISE AND RECRUIT MENTORS. AS SUCH, THEY WILL SERVE ROUGHLY FOUR (4) ADDITIONAL HOURS WITH OUR ORGANIZATION PER MONTH. ADDITIONALLY, 40% OUR BOARD SERVES ON A BOARD-LEVEL COMMITTEE, WHERE THEY DEDICATED 1-1.5 ADDITIONAL HOURS OF SERVICE EVERY OTHER MONTH. WE ESTIMATE THAT OUR BOARD MEMBERS COLLECTIVELY DEDICATED NO LESS THAN 1,020 HOURS EACH YEAR TO ADVANCING OUR MISSION OR ROUGHLY FIVE (5) HOURS EACH MONTH. OUR CRITICAL FORCE OF VOLUNTEER MENTORS, KNOWN AS BIGS, DEDICATE FIVE HOURS OF TIME EVEN BEFORE BECOMING A MENTOR FOR A COMPREHENSIVE INTERVIEW, PAPERWORK COMPLETION, AND VOLUNTEER TRAINING. ONCE MATCHED WITH THEIR LITTLE, BIGS THEN COMMIT TO SPENDING AT LEAST FOUR HOURS PER MONTH WITH THEIR MENTEE. MOST, HOWEVER, END UP SPENDING SIX TO EIGHT HOURS TOGETHER WITH THEIR LITTLE EACH MONTH. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 141 ACTIVE MENTORS EACH MONTH FOR THE YEAR (AND SERVICE TO 200 MATCHES CUMULATIVE FOR THE YEAR), IT IS REASONABLE TO ESTIMATE THAT OUR MENTORS DEDICATED 10,151-13,536 HOURS OF TIME TO THEIR LITTLES IN FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022. FORM 990, PART III MISSION AND VISION CONTINUED VISION: WE BELIEVE ALL YOUTH CAN REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THEREBY CONTRIBUTING TO BETTER SCHOOLS, BRIGHTER FUTURES, AND STRONGER, HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES FOR ALL. JUSTICE EQUITY DIVERSITY & INCLUSION (JEDI) COMMITMENT: AT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF THE LOWCOUNTRY (BBBSL), DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF OUR VALUES AND MISSION. WE SEEK OUT, RECOGNIZE, AFFIRM, AND CELEBRATE THE DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, LIVES, AND EXPERIENCES OF ALL STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING YOUTH, FAMILIES, DONORS, VOLUNTEERS, AND STAFF. WE ENSURE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL VOICES AND PERSPECTIVES TO BE HEARD AND HONORED. IN THE WORKPLACE, WE FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE LIVED EXPERIENCE IS VALUED AND WHERE ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THEIR BEST SELVES. WE AFFIRM THAT ALL PEOPLE NO MATTER THEIR ABILITY, AGE, CULTURAL BACKGROUND, ETHNICITY, FAITH, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY, GENDER EXPRESSION, IDEOLOGY, INCOME, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RACE, OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION, MARITAL OR VETERAN STATUS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. IN TERMS OF MEASURABLE COMMITMENT TO THIS WORK, AND IN RECOGNITION OF THE DIVERSITY OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS, BBBSL SETS AND ACHIEVES ANNUAL GOALS AROUND STAFF, BOARD, AND VOLUNTEER MENTOR DIVERSITY. FURTHER, IT HAS EMBRACES INCLUSIVE HIRING, TRAINING, AND SUPPLIER DIVERSITY PRACTICES. PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED) IN FY 22-23, BBBSL CREATED AND SUPPORTED 254 MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ITS TWO PROGRAMS, WITH 195 COMMUNITY-BASED MATCHES AND 59 BIG BEYOND MATCHES. BBBSL SERVES CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE TRICOUNTY REGION IN BERKELEY (13%), CHARLESTON (71%), AND DORCHESTER COUNTIES (15%). OF THE YOUTH SERVED, 50% IDENTIFIED AS FEMALE AND 50% AS MALE; 27% WERE 7-11, 40% WERE 12-15, AND 33% WERE 19-21 YEARS OLD; 79% IDENTIFIED AS AFRICAN AMERICAN, 7% AS MULTI-RACIAL, 2% AS HISPANIC/LATINX, AND 11% AS WHITE; 76% LIVED IN HOMES WITHOUT TWO PARENTS; AND MORE THAN 78% WERE ON FREE- OR REDUCED-PRICE LUNCH. COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING PROGRAM: IN ITS LONG-STANDING, HALLMARK, EVIDENCE-BASED COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING PROGRAM, BBBSL RECRUITS AND MATCHES CHILDREN WITH CARING ADULT MENTORS IN ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS. PROFESSIONAL STAFF ENROLL, TRAIN, AND PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS, CHILDREN, AND THEIR FAMILIES. THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE CREATED WITH A GOAL TO PROVIDE CHILDREN WITH THE EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL SUPPORT, ATTENTION, AND GUIDANCE NECESSARY TO SUPPORT STRONG SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT, HEALTHY PEER-TO PEER/FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, AVOIDANCE OF RISKY BEHAVIORS, AND STRONG SELF-CONCEPT. AMONG CHILDREN SERVED, AGES RANGE FROM SEVEN (7) INTO YOUNG ADULTHOOD (18-21). FURTHER, CHILDREN SERVED WILL OFTEN LIVE IN POVERTY; BE FROM HOMES WITHOUT TWO PARENTS; BE AT ELEVATED RISK FOR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM; BE YOUTH OF COLOR, INCLUDING AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC YOUTH; BE YOUTH IN A FOSTER PROGRAM; HAVE AN INCARCERATED PARENT; HAVE A PARENT IN THE MILITARY; BE FROM RURAL COMMUNITIES; OR HAVE A DISABILITY. MANY OF THESE YOUTH WILL ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO PHYSICAL AND/OR SEXUAL ABUSE; PHYSICAL AND/OR EMOTIONAL NEGLECT; DOMESTIC VIOLENCE; SUBSTANCE ABUSE WITHIN THE HOUSEHOLD; HOUSEHOLD MENTAL ILLNESS; PARENTAL SEPARATION OR DIVORCE. EVEN FACING SUCH SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM OBSTACLES, ALL THE LITTLES BBBSL SERVES ARE CHOCK FULL OF POTENTIAL, TALENT, AND RESILIENCE AND DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHASE DOWN THEIR BIGGEST DREAMS. WE SAY "YES" TO HOPEFUL PARENTS AND GUARDIANS WHO SEE INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL IN THEIR CHILD, AND WE COMMIT TO FINDING A SAFE AND CARING ADULT MENTOR/BIG WILLING TO STAND IN THEIR MENTEE'S/LITTLE'S CORNER AND HAVE THEIR BACK. AS SUCH, BBBSL'S MODEL IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOUTH GAIN PROTECTIVE FACTORS THAT HELP PREVENT AND BUILD RESILIENCY AGAINST ADDITIONAL CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY AND TO HELP CHILDREN IMAGINE HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND PRODUCTIVE FUTURES. TO ENSURE EFFECTIVENESS, BBBSL MEASURES AND TRACKS THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND ACADEMIC PROGRESS MADE BY EACH LITTLE USING AN EVIDENCE- BASED YOUTH AND CHILD OUTCOME SURVEYS AT REGULAR INTERVALS. STAFF COMPARES PRE-AND POST-SURVEY RESULTS TO ASSESS CHILD IMPROVEMENT IN KEY AREAS. PROFESSIONAL STAFF USE OUTCOME DATA 1) TO HELP INFORM COACHING PROVIDED TO MENTORS AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS TO SUPPORT FUTURE IMPROVEMENT AND 2) TO IMPROVE OVERALL CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT PROVIDED TO PARENTS AND MENTORS. OUTCOMES SURVEYS MEASURE CHANGES IN PARENTAL TRUST, SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE AND PEER RELATIONS, SCHOLASTIC IMPROVEMENT; EDUCATIONAL EXPECTATIONS; EXPOSURE TO RISK BEHAVIORS AND MORE. OVER TIME, ALL SUCH FACTORS CORRELATE WITH IMPROVED SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR, GRADES, AND GRADUATION; IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH AND SELF-ESTEEM; AVOIDANCE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND CRIME. ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT LONGER, STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS RESULT IN THE MOST POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN, BBBSL CONDUCTS A STRENGTH OF RELATIONSHIP ASSESSMENT DESIGNED TO EVALUATE THE STRENGTH OF MENTOR-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH A GOAL OF INCREASING MATCH RETENTION. STAFF REVIEW ALL OUTCOMES ASSESSMENTS AND CONDUCT CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN BBBSL'S SERVICE DELIVERY AND TO INFORM COACHING PROVIDED TO MENTORS AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS. FURTHER, STAFF ADAPTS CHILD CASE PLANS TO ADDRESS PERSISTENT CONCERNS OR MEET NEW EMERGING NEEDS. THANKS TO THIS RIGOR, BBBSL'S AVERAGE MATCH COMMUNITY-BASED LENGTH AFTER 12-MONTHS IN THE PROGRAM IS GREATER THAN 40 MONTHS. PARENTS/GUARDIANS WISHING FOR THEIR CHILD TO RECEIVE ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING REFER THEIR CHILD INTO THE BBBSL'S PROGRAM. FOLLOWING REFERRAL, BBBSL INTERVIEWS BOTH THE CHILD AND THE PARENT/GUARDIAN TO IDENTIFY WHETHER THE CHILD AND FAMILY WOULD BENEFIT FROM AND BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A CHILD-ADULT MENTORING RELATIONSHIP. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERVIEW SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND EACH CHILD'S SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL/ACADEMIC GOALS/NEEDS, EACH CHILD'S INTERESTS/PREFERENCES, AND THE PARENT'S/GUARDIAN'S PREFERENCES FOR THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP. SHOULD BBBSL DEEM ITSELF ABLE TO SECURE A VOLUNTEER MENTOR FOR THE CHILD, IT WILL ENROLL THE CHILD INTO THE PROGRAM. BBBSL DOES NOT CHARGE FAMILIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A BIG BROTHER OR BIG SISTER MUST ALSO GO THROUGH AN ASSESSMENT/ENROLLMENT PROCESS WHICH INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE INTERVIEW, CRIMINAL AND DRIVING BACKGROUND CHECKS; REFERENCE CHECKS, ORIENTATION, AS WELL AS INITIAL, AND WHEN NECESSARY, ONGOING TRAINING TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, CHILD SAFETY, TRAUMA, CULTURAL HUMILITY/JEDI, ETC. CHILD SAFETY IS AT THE HEART OF THE PROGRAM, SO BEFORE BEING MATCHED, VOLUNTEERS ARE SCREENED BOTH TO DETERMINE SAFETY WHETHER THEY WILL BE APPROPRIATE/PSYCHOLOGICALLY SAFE MENTORS. FURTHER, THE MENTOR'S INTERVIEW WILL SEEK TO DETERMINE THE MENTOR'S PREFERENCES, INTERESTS, AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCES THAT COULD PROVE BENEFICIAL FOR THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP. BBBSL REQUESTS THAT VOLUNTEERS COVER THE COSTS OF THEIR BACKGROUND CHECKS (30). WHEN MATCHING A CHILD WITH AN ADULT MENTOR, STAFF CAREFULLY CONSIDER ALL FACTORS (INTERESTS, EXPERIENCE, GEOGRAPHY, ETC.) TO MAKE THE BEST MATCH POSSIBLE. BEFORE A MATCH IS MADE, BBBSL PROPOSES THE CHILD FIRST TO THE MENTOR. IF THE CHILD AGREES, BBBSL THEN PROPOSES THE MENTOR TO THE FAMILY. WHILE THE PARENT/CAREGIVER HAS THE POWER TO VETO THE MENTOR, THE CHILD HAS FINAL SAY EVEN IF THE PARENT/CAREGIVER APPROVES. ONCE A MATCH IS MADE, THE ADULT MENTORS PROVIDE THEIR LITTLE BROTHER OR LITTLE SISTER WITH INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION TWO TO FOUR TIMES EACH MONTH (FOUR TO EIGHT HOURS TOTAL) FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. DURING REGULAR, UNSTRUCTURED OUTINGS, MENTORING PAIRS HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THE ACTIVITIES THEY WILL ENJOY AND FROM WHICH THE CHILD WILL BENEFIT MOST. WITH PARENT/GUARDIAN APPROVAL, THESE ACTIVITIES CAN TAKE PLACE WHEREVER THEY DECIDE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AS THE MENTORING PAIR BUILDS A STRONG, LASTING FRIENDSHIP. BBBSL PROVIDES SUGGESTIONS ABOUT A RANGE OF LOW-COST OR FREE ACTIVITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN AND AROUND THE LOCAL AREA AND INVITES MATCHES TO MONTHLY AGENCY-HOSTED ACTIVITIES. DURING TIME WITH THEIR MENTORS, CHILDREN EXPAND THEIR EXPERIENCES BEYOND THEIR FAMILIES OR NEIGHBORHOODS, GAIN NEW SKILLS, EXPLORE NEW INTERESTS, AND TALK WITH AN ADULT THEY TRUST ONE-ON-ONE. FURTHER, BBBSL PROVIDES BI-MONTHLY COACHING VIDEOS TO MENTORS, ONGOING RESOURCES DURING COACHING CALLS, AND ONGOING TRAINING. WHEN FAMILIES ARE IN NEED TO ADDITIONAL SUPPORT, BBBSL PROVIDES REFERRALS TO OTHER LOCAL PROVIDERS. TO ENSURE THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP IS PROGRESSING SAFELY, THAT CHILDREN ARE BENEFITING MEASURABLY FROM THEIR MENTORING RELATIONSHIP, THAT MENTORS ARE RECEIVING THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO STAY COMMITTED, AND THAT THERE IS CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EVERYONE INVOLVED, BBBSL REQUIRES MONTHLY (FIRST 12 MONTHS) OR QUARTERLY (FOLLOWING 12 MONTHS) SUPPORT PHONE CALLS FOR THE LIFE OF THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP (WITH THE SCHEDULED DETERMINED BY MATCH DURATION OR LEVEL OF S FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B THE DRAFT FROM 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR A COMMENT PERIOD.
