Big Brothers Big Sisters and a Hundred Years of Youth Mentoring

Mark Klinedinst, Ph.D., has also volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the oldest youth mentoring program in the United States.
The structure and goal of Big Brothers Big Sisters are simple: to help children (called “Littles” in the program) reach their potential by pairing them with a volunteer adult (a “Big”) to have a one-on-one mentoring relationship. Since 1904, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been focusing on children from disadvantaged backgrounds: poverty, single-parent households, incarcerated parents, and so on. These Littles meet with their Big three times a month for a year, participating in free events organized by the charity or simple things like going to the park or the movies - things that a Little might not get a chance to have in their normal life.
A study conducted on the improvement of the Littles before and after engaging with the program found that they were more confident at school and got along better with their families, as well as being 46 percent less likely to get into illegal drugs later in life. Even after graduating high school and the Littles program, 90 percent of Littles alumni say that the mentoring from their Big helped them gain confidence in their teenage years.

The document discusses racism and diversity. It notes that racism today is often subtle and covert, occurring through "have a nice day racism" where victims may not realize they have been victimized. It says racism affects people of all races and ethnicities.

Institutional racism embedded in society's institutions also must be addressed through acknowledgement and understanding that racism still exists. Acceptance of diversity is important as no one has an obligation to change themselves but rather reach out and create bonds between all people.

DU was one of 55 universities investigated by the federal government in 2014 for its handling of sexual assault cases. While the university aims to balance the rights of victims and the accused, it offers counseling, medical, and advocacy services to assault survivors. It also holds educational events during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and requires all Greek organizations to complete consent and bystander intervention training. However, studies show that sorority women remain at high risk of assault while fraternity men are more likely to be perpetrators compared to other students.

The report summarizes key findings about the state of women and girls in Santa Clara County across four areas: education, economics, health, and violence and crime. Some high-level findings include:
- In education, girls are achieving at or above boys' rates K-12, but an unacceptable number do not read at grade level or graduate high school. Fewer women pursue STEM careers.
- In economics, women continue to face a persistent wage gap and are more vulnerable to wage theft in lower-paying sectors like food service and domestic work.
- In health, chronic conditions are rising and obesity affects both youth and adults. Access to healthcare and social determinants like income impact health disparities
