Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
BIG SISTER BOSTON IS IMMERSED IN THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGRAMMING. FROM THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS TO ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON CAREER AWARENESS, SAFETY, WELLNESS, AND HEALTHY DECISION-MAKING, WE ARE MEETING THE UNIQUE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 7-24. OUR LARGEST ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING PROGRAM, COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING, MATCHES GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 7-15 WITH A BIG SISTER AND SUPPORTS THEM UNTIL THE LITTLE SISTER REACHES 24 YEARS OF AGE. ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOSTER SISTERHOOD AMONG OUR COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING MATCHES WHILE PROMOTING GIRLS' PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD SKILLS AND BROADEN LITTLE SISTERS' HORIZONS AT DIFFERENT AGES AND STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT AS THEY LEARN AND GROW ALONGSIDE THEIR BIG SISTERS.
OUR SITE-BASED MENTORING PROGRAMS TAKE PLACE IN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS IN BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE. BIG AND LITTLE SISTERS MEET ONCE A WEEK DURING THE SCHOOL DAY OR THEIR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM. IN WORKPLACE MENTORING, EMPLOYEES AT A COMPANY MENTOR LITTLE SISTERS FROM A LOCAL SCHOOL. LITTLE SISTERS MEET WITH THEIR BIG SISTERS AT THE COMPANY'S OFFICE, PROVIDING A MEANINGFUL MENTORING EXPERIENCE, AND VALUABLE CAREER AWARENESS.
OUR BIG FUTURES IS A PROGRAM FOR CURRENTLY ENROLLED LITTLE SISTERS, FORMER LITTLE SISTERS, AND HIGH SCHOOL MENTORING BIG SISTERS, AGE 14-24, THAT PROVIDES COACHING, SUPPORT, AND RESOURCES TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE VIA CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND/OR COLLEGE SUCCESS, AND WILL CONTINUE THAT SUPPORT FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL AND CONTINUING TO AGE 24.
