Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami (BBBS), a youth mentoring organization, recently announced its new partnership with the City of Coral Gables Police Department for a “Bigs in Blue” mentoring program for Carver Middle School and Ponce de Leon Middle School students.
A new study reveals that severe childhood trauma and stresses early in parents’ lives are linked to higher rates of behavioral health problems in their children.
Adam Lickstein signed up to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters six years ago, after graduating from University of Florida, and then working for several years in the football team’s recruiting office, where he saw firsthand the power of education and athletic opportunity in transforming young lives.
Luis Nieto and his mentor, Hugo Mantilla, have gotten together for a variety of activities since they were matched by the mentoring organization Big Brothers Big Sisters eight years ago, making memories at basketball games, museums, boat rides and philanthropic events.
