Dear Agency Supporters,

With our new fiscal year just several months underway, wed like to take this opportunity to thank you for your unparalleled support of Big Brothers Big Sisters Lehigh Valley. Were excited to not only look forward to this year, but also glance back at our achievements from 2013-2014.

This annual report gives us a chance to thank you by taking a head-on look at the impact mentoring has had on innumerable lives. We really want you to understand how each dollar contributed makes a tangible difference. Its also our goal to show you stories of real people who take it upon themselves to step up as mentors and guide their Little Brothers and Little Sisters towards successful, fulfilling futures.

We have both been involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters for many years, in many capacities, and in that time, weve met many Bigs and Littles whove felt the positive power of mentoring. Most of the time, our

matches dont do anything extravagantthey spend a couple of hours per week getting pizza, playing games, shooting hoops, going to sporting events and simply learning how their life experiences fit together.

Still, these experiences, bit by bit, really work, and it takes a ton of great people to help create this impact. Without the amazing commitment of our volunteer Bigs, our many corporate and individual donors, officials at our partnering schools and of course, our dedicated staff and board of directors, our story as an organization would remain unwritten.

In the past fiscal year, we proudly served a record 327 children in mentoring relationships throughout Lehigh and Northampton Counties. Now, we share their storiesand ours as a growing organization devoted to bettering our community each and every day. We hope youll continue to work with us as we push to serve even more children in a life-changing way.

Sincerely,

2013 - 2014

Impact of our School-Based Mentoring Program


Sydney and Ema are making their time together count.

My Little Best FriendCommunity-Based Mentoring Program


Its been smooth sailing so far for Big Sister Sydney and her Little Sister Ema. While they were matched only a year ago, theyve already accomplished a ton. We usually hang out after school for a couple of hours each week, Sydney begins. We use the time to do simple thingswe cook dinner together, bake cookies and usually work on Emas government, science or math homework.We like to use our match meetings to make learning a bit more fun, Sydney added. Recently, we went to the diner to eat and used items on the table, like sugar packets, to do addition and division.And for Ema, the time shes spent with Sydney studying and having fun is paying divi-dends in the classroom. I just got an A on my test about the scientific method, Ema bragged. And I got an 85% on

my government test.Ema also gets really excited about a time when her and Sydney did something special togetherthey gave back to the community by volunteering at an event called Mikaylas Voice last summer.Together, Sydney and Ema both

volunteered at the event and completed the organizations Triathlon for Inclusion, which is an all-inclusive event where kids of all abilities have the opportunity to compete side-by-side and together in something they had likely not dreamed possible.

At just 24 years old, Sydney understands the value of giv-ing back in the community not only as a Big Sister, but as a volunteer for other organiza-tions, like Mikaylas voice. And its great to see her passing these all-important values on to her Little Sister Ema.Melissa, Emas mother, is also very involved with the program. She says that shes very grateful for the program and what its done for her daughter. Ema is always so eager to be around Sydney, even if its just a trip to the park, attending a birthday party or reviewing school work or studying, she noted. As a single parent who works full-time and is a student, I often dont have the opportunity to do these things with her. Its also provided her with an opportunity to explore what it means to give back to the community.

We like to use our match

meetings to make learning

fun.


Woodrow, like many of our Bigs, is adamant that he and his Little Brother simply enjoy spending time together, no matter what theyre doing.

We dont do anything crazy, Woodrow laughs when asked about the activities the two enjoy together. A lot of times we just hang out and talk. We both like singing, and enjoy music. And we really like watching movies together.

Humble as he is about his influence on Davids life, Woodrow also says the two used to work on homework together during their weekly match meetings. However, in the past several months, Woodrow notes that he no longer needs to help David with his studies.

Im doing it all on my own now, Little Brother David adds. He really helped me out with getting better grades.

We get to spend more time watching movies now, Woodrow adds. Hes worked really hard and gotten to the point where hes totally on his own with homework and academics now.

Though both spend just an hour a week together, the bond Woodrow and David have created over the past two years runs deep. Notably, Woodrow has also helped his Little Brother become more self-confident and outgoing.We have a pretty special bond, Woodrow says. David is in speech therapy, and I was as well when I was his age. Im really able to help him out with

his self-confidence because I was in his shoes before, and I try to understand what hes going through.

In fact, David is quite the talent: he currently sings, and plays trumpet and flute, and is learning piano. Pursuing his passion for music at such a young age, he says, wouldve been more challenging if Woodrow werent there to guide and inspire him.

I really look up to Woodrow as a role model, and thats what I wanted when I first got a Big Brother, David says.

I really look up to

Woodrow as a role model.


Woodrow received the High School Big Brother of the Year award in April. After hearing about how hes

helped his Little Brother David, its easy to understand why.

Making the GradeSchool-Based Mentoring Program


Former Big Brother Scotty and his Little Brother Armand have shared a ton of memoriesand theyre still making some new ones.

Im Listening

Reconnecting With Alumni


Scotty, a DJ on Lehigh Valley radio station 107 The Bone, remembers his time as a Big Brother really fondlyeven if he cant remember exactly why he got involved. However, his decision to be a mentor to his former Little Brother Armand was one that was life-changing for both men.I dont know exactly why I got involved [with Big Brothers Big Sisters], but I had a ton of free time, and I wanted to do some-thing productive, Scotty said. I ran into a representative from the organization at a live radio broadcast I was hosting, and I thought it seemed right up my alley.Scotty was new to the Lehigh Valley when he went online to apply to be a Big Brother. As he remembers it, the process was simple as possible, and he was matched with his Little Brother Armand quickly. It happened really fast, Scotty said. At that point, I didnt know what to expect!Though Armand was relatively reserved, he found a perfect match in his Big Brother, who describes himself as a complete extrovert. The

two spent their initial meetings getting to know one another, grabbing dinner and just conversing. We both had somewhat busy schedules, so lots of times wed just go out, get pizza, play video games or talk about school, Scotty said. I wanted to lend a listening ear. We shared a lot of the same interests, we were both really into sports and

martial arts, and it just clicked.Yet, the longer they were matched, and the more adventures both sharedScotty took Armand to his first concert, the pair went whitewater rafting and they visited a ton of Pennsylvanias major landmarksthe more Armand started confiding in Scotty.As we grew closer, he would call me to discuss his day to day issues, Scotty said. He was going through typical stuff growing up, and I helped him out. For instance, I taught him how to shave. When he got older, hed give me a call and ask for career and college

advice. I always told him to do exactly what he wanted to do, and to make sure to find something he was passionate about.Scotty and Armand were matched for seven years, and the time together allowed both of them to play integral roles in each others lives. Armand had Scotty to his middle school and high school graduation ceremonies, and, most notably, gave his Big Brother a father pin when he earned his Eagle Scout badge.Now a sophomore at the University of Scranton studying nursing, Armand still keeps in touch with his Big Brother. And Scotty says hes still made himself available to chat anytime his former Little Brother needs someone to listen.Even as our matched closed, we stayed really close, Scotty noted. From day one, he definitely had his head on straight, but I wanted to make sure I was always there to talk if he had anything on his mind. We still see each other every two weeks to catch up. The match turned out perfectly.

The match turned out perfectly.

For over 40 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters Lehigh Valley has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Most children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters are in single-parent, low-income families or households where a parent

is incarcerated. As the nations largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between qualified, trained

mentors (Bigs) and children (Littles).

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a system of ongoing evaluation and support which is proven by independent studies to help families by improving the odds that Littles

will perform better in school, avoid violence and illegal activities, and have stronger relationships with their parents and others. Learn how you can positively impact a childs

lifedonate or volunteer today at www.bbbslv.org.
