Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (Bigs) and children (Littles), ages 8 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. false false 415881 5000 466268 Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Sacramento Area, an affiliate of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America organization, was established in 1963, and serves youth between the ages of 8-18, from Sacramento, Yolo and Placer Counties, who come from a single-parent household,or children that are being raised by grandparents or foster parents. Over 80% of families served are at or below the poverty line, 28% of our children have not met their biological parents, and 12% have parents who are incarcerated. Despite their young age, the youth we serve have an understanding that is wise beyond their years. They've often been forced to grow up too-quick, which can negatively impact their view of the world or the future they see for themselves. As the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters provides children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better. Youth in our program are matched to dedicated and stable adults who serve as mentors. Volunteers are required to complete a written application, background and reference checks, in-person interviews, orientation and a training process that outlines the individual needs of each child. Once candidates qualify for the program, our staff intentionally matches based on our Bigs and Littles geographic proximity, personal interests, personalities and life experiences to ensure success. Once a match is made, our staff provides ongoing support to ensure child safety and promote positive youth outcomes. We believe there is power in focusing on the individual needs of one child and tailoring a program to the areas of guidance and stability in which they are lacking. We ask Bigs for a minimum one-year commitment to build a relationship with their Little, as having the same mentor gives our Littles consistency and much-needed confidence by having an adult they can trust.Through being mentored for at least 12 months, these children experience improvement in social acceptance, scholastic competency, educational expectations, avoidance of risky behaviors, parental trust and truancy. During 2017, our agency celebrated many accomplishments including creating 64 new matches and serving more than 250 existing matches. With an average match length of over 2 years, 90% of our youth report that their relationship with their Big helped them make better choices throughout childhood. Mentoring relationships contribute to brighter futures, better schools, and stronger communities. 415881 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false 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 true false false false true 2 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Theresa Scherber 9166469300 800 Howe Ave Ste 440 Sacramento CA 95825 Theresa Scherber CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 70227 0 0 Dale Waldschmitt Board Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Baidoo Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Tyler Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Greg Re Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Forrest Vickery Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Radoslovich Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam English Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Broughton Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bethany Crouch Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy Harris Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Somerhausen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Sanders Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Chopey Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Talia Delanoy Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 70227 0 false false false 0 54700 197547 252247 0 13 13 0 0 0 0 222404 8396 214008 0 0 0 466268 13 0 5000 5000 0 0 70227 59727 7000 3500 0 205318 174486 20555 10277 0 24163 20182 2654 1327 22374 19374 2000 1000 0 0 6600 6600 0 0 0 34955 34955 8320 7072 832 416 29357 24489 3246 1622 0 0 41043 34887 4104 2052 7474 6353 747 374 0 0 0 11721 11721 5619 4869 500 250 7777 6619 779 379 Program supplies 4914 4914 Postage and Shipping 1451 1233 145 73 0 486313 415881 49162 21270 84166 34360 0 6168 14877 1550 0 0 0 0 3791 0 51015 42446 9101 8569 0 0 0 0 9211 15378 121146 66025 58048 30786 58048 30786 X 63098 35239 63098 35239 121146 66025 X -20045 -7814 X false true X true false X 512296 747212 551808 306833 252247 2370396 0 0 512296 747212 551808 306833 252247 2370396 0 2370396 57 57 389 13 516 0 3161 4149 1024 76483 214008 298825 2669737 0.88790 0.96810 X 1745 969 776 23310 19646 3664 25960 21831 4129 8569 Deposits 15378 15378 466268 466268 466268 486313 486313 486313 X X X X X X false CA Garden Party 94349 94349 8183 Golf Tournament 69956 69956 213 1 58099 58099 222404 222404 8396 8396 214008 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process A PDF copy of Form 990 is emailed to the Board of Directors prior to its submission to the IRS.
