Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Paso mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Our program supports youth in their mental, physical and emotional health.
Through this funding, BBBSEP will be able to 1) Connect youth (ages 6-17) to one-to-one mentoring to create strong, trusting, and lasting relationships with their mentors; 2) Develop strong bonds between mentors and youth support structures (parents, families, teachers, etc.); 3) Recruit mentors who understand the pervasive social, economic, and cultural context of the target population; and 4) Host activities for program participants (Littles, Bigs, and families). Funds will also support training, matchmaking, case-management support, evaluation, & mentor-mentee coordination of family strengthening activities.
