Breakthrough Study Finds Adults Mentored as Children in Big Brothers Big Sisters are Better Educated
and Wealthier than Peers.
A study conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters finds adults mentored as children through Big Brothers Big Sisters are more likely than peers with similar backgrounds but who were not involved in the program to have a four-year college degree and incomes of $75,000 or more. They also report strong relationships with their spouses, children and friends.
The children we serve are among Lorain County's most vulnerable, whether they have one parent, live in households experiencing poverty or have a parent who is incarcerated. Independent research has told us for some time that Big Brothers Big Sisters improves the odds that children we serve will succeed educationally and socially. This is our first large-scale examination of the long-term benefits, suggesting we have the potential to break cycles too often associated with family and community poverty.”
