TO OVERCOME THIS OBSTACLE, WE OFFER A SITE BASED PROGRAM THAT UTILIZES HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SERVE AS MENTORS (BIGS) TO ELEMENTARY AGED CHILDREN (LITTLES). THE HIGHSCHOOL BIGS PROGRAM OPERATES ONCE EACH WEEK FOR APPROXIMATELY 90 MINUTES ON AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A MATCH SUPPORT SPECIALIST FROM BBBS OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. BOTH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ARE REFERRED TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS FROM AMONG STUDENTS THEY FEEL WOULD BENEFIT. WE OFFERED THIS PROGRAM AT 14 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITES, SERVING A TOTAL OF 560 STUDENTS. COMMUNITY BASED MATCHES: CHILDREN BETWEEN AGES OF 6 - 18 WHO ARE FACING ADVERSITY ARE PROVIDED ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING BY A RIGOROUSLY SCREENED, VETTED AND TRAINED ADULT VOLUNTEER. MATCHES ARE CAREFULLY MONITORED AND SUPPORTED BY PROFESSIONAL STAFF. MENTORS COMMIT TO SPEND A MINIMUM OF 3-4 HOURS PER WEEK FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF A MATCH EXCEEDS 22 MONTHS; WHILE FOR SOME IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A LIFE LONG RELATIONSHIP. OUR EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM PRODUCES OVERWHELMING POSITIVE EFFECTS ON CHILDREN BY DEVELOPING IMPROVED ATTITUDES TOWARD SCHOOL, ACHIEVING HIGHER GRADES AND IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADULTS AND PEERS. THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO SKIP SCHOOL, SKIP A CLASS, USE ILLEGAL DRUGS OR ALCOHOL OR HIT SOMEONE. MENTORS PROVIDE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO THEIR MENTEES BY COACHING THEM IN HOW TO BETTER COPE AND EXPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS IN A HEALTHY MANNER. DURING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, 107 CHILDREN WERE SERVED IN THIS PROGRAM. LUNCH BUDDY/SITE BASED MENTORING: ADULT SITE BASED MENTORS MEET THE SAME RIGOROUS BACKGROUND CHECKS AND STANDARDS AS DO THOSE PARTICIPATING IN OUR COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAM. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY MEET AND SPEND TIME WITH THEIR MENTEE (LITTLE), TYPICALLY ONCE EACH WEEK FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, AT A SCHOOL SITE OR COMMUNITY CENTER RATHER THAN OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE BUT CAN'T MAKE THE TIME COMMITMENT REQUIRED OF THE COMMUNITY BASED MENTORS. DURING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, WE SUPPORTED 2 SITE BASED MATCHES. 130279 ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT IN PROVIDING MENTORS TO AT RISK CHILDRED IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY IN CALIFORNIA 130279 1422208 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 0 0 true 29 true false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X DIANE PHAKONEKHAM 5592682447 4047 N FRESNO STREET FRESNO CA 93726 DIANE PHAKONEKHAM PRESIDENT & 40.00 X 115592 0 0 MICHAEL CARR BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 CHRIS CHILDERS BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 LUTFI LEFTY ESCHEIK BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 DONALD HOLLEY BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 KAYLA KIM BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 WILLIAM PODSAKOFF BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 RONDA RAFIDI BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 FRED D THOMAS BOARD MEMBER X 0 0 0 NORA CROW TREASURER X 0 0 0 WILLIAM HICKS PRESIDENT X 0 0 0 ANUSONE KEOCHAI VICE PRESIDE X 0 0 0 CURLEN PHIPPS SECRETARY X 0 0 0 115592 1 false false false 455949 756632 524296 1736877 16224 16224 1753101 16224 115592 115592 731307 606985 95070 29252 15847 13153 2060 634 48323 40108 6282 1933 73863 61306 9602 2955 27681 9662 17917 102 1982 1645 258 79 65737 46016 19721 56190 46636 7306 2248 47685 40888 5197 1600 212272 176184 27596 8492 52156 43128 7157 1871 27108 22146 4350 612 18075 15002 2350 723 17698 14687 2300 711 24743 20536 3217 990 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 82295 82295 EVENT SUPPLIES 54427 54427 UNSECURED PROP TAX 9739 8083 1266 390 BACKGROUND CHECKS 3165 2627 411 127 1328 1102 173 53 1687213 1422208 192512 72493 167374 126118 1427786 1344011 1438553 1569570 14634 8796 261779 118788 157742 142991 3206089 3191486 144037 63546 144037 63546 X 3062052 3127940 3062052 3127940 3206089 3191486 65888 X false false X 1736877 1736877 1736877 1736877 1736877 1736877 16224 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 261779 118788 142991 142991 1753101 1753101 1753101 1687213 1687213 1687213 FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A HIGH SCHOOL BIGS: MANY RURAL AND ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED COMMUNITIES LACK AN ADEQUATE POOL OF VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE THE TIME AND/OR RESOURCES TO SERVE AS A MENTOR.
