Program areas at CBSBB

One-to-one Mentoring program: we reach Nyc children ages 7-19, the majority of whom are from single parent immigrant families living below the poverty line. Msw trained program managers conduct in-depth psychosocial interviews with families, match youth with screened and trained same-gender volunteers, and provide professional supervision to each relationship, which meets for 3-4 hours, twice a month, engaging in recreational, cultural, academic activities in the community. In 2022, we served 698 youth and family members including nearly 200 in one to one Mentoring relationships with a volunteer mentor. Program team continued to provide family emergency support and sustain matches. Program managers conducted ongoing needs assessments for our families and purchased essentials for families that needed assistance. The program team conducts the following in-person (virtual when needed) meetings and events: family and volunteer intake (interview sessions), match meetings, mentor trainings and life-skills programing throughout the year. Additionally, the world of work program (w.o.w) is a college & career readiness site-based initiative with local high schools and local companies.
Family support: as the only Mentoring organization that focuses on comprehensive family support services as part of our mission, msw trained program managers provide in-depth social and emotional support, crisis counseling, groups and referral assistance to resources such as housing, legal and mental health. Research confirms that children do best in stable households with secure relationships, good health, and safety. Supporting parents, in conjunction with support and services to children, dramatically increases short and long-term success. Program managers support parents in achieving their own personal goals, infusing a growth mindset with parents to empower them, and be stronger parents for their children.
College bound & holistic life skills support: we help youth commit to learning positive values, social competencies, and a positive identity, recognize the importance of doing well in school to achieve on-time grade promotion, graduate from high school, and pursue a college degree (or vocational training) to support a career. Life skills groups include academic workshops & career networking/exploration events, health & wellness activities, and social emotional workshops, i.e. Youth empowerment, healthy decision-making and healthy relationships. 97% of youth showed increased self-confidence, 99% served were promoted to the next grade, while 98% of youth served avoided derailing behaviors, 94% graduated high school within 5 years and entered a college/training program.
