Our Commitment to Youth

At BBBSBA, we’re dedicated to empowering young people by connecting them with positive mentors. We’re committed to ensuring every young person feels valued, safe, and inspired to reach their full potential, no matter their background or circumstances.

Access

BBBSBA is committed to ensuring young people experience the life-changing benefits of mentorship, regardless of their background, experiences, circumstances or need. Our program empowers them to reach their full potential.

We understand that every young person is unique and we value their individual experiences by creating a pathway for them to gain access to resources, people, and opportunities that help them grow.

Connection

In matching young people with mentors, we are building a community through our program. Youth become part of a network of accepting, supportive relationships where everyone is able to participate and feel included.

A sense of connection is essential for growth, and at BBBSBA we are determined to help youth feel connected to their mentors, communities, and futures. Our commitment to creating welcoming, safe spaces ensures that all young people feel valued, heard, and supported.

Opportunity

Whether in a workplace, a school, or in the community, we empower young people through relationships that give them the confidence and skills to navigate life and thrive.

We know mentorship is a transformative force for youth and their personal impact on our communities and economy. Our program empowers more young people to enroll in higher education, enhancing their earning potential compared to their non-mentored peers.

Safety

Youth safety is the foundation of our program. Our priority is the wellbeing and success of the young people who enroll. We go to great lengths to ensure that every participant feels supported and safe in their mentoring relationship.

Our comprehensive protocols include a thorough vetting process for mentors, ongoing support from our Match Support team, and strict guidelines for mentors to uphold the security of youth. When young people feel safe, they’re able to reach their full potential.
