Impact in the life of a Child

 

There is substantial measurable impact on children in our program. As an agency we can target that into meaningful results for our local community. Below are a few highlights from our study of internal data conducted on child participants in the Triangle.

 A study of internal data conducted on child participants matched for 12 months during 2006 found that: 

  • 86% are more self-confident
  • 82% are better able to express their feelings
  • 64% make better decisions
  • 52% made better use of their school’s resources
  • 45% made better use of their community’s resources

                                Impact in the Life of a Community

     

     

    As an organization we are committed to reshaping our community for the better on behalf of local children and families today and tomorrow BBBST puts a strong focus on reaching children with multiple risk-factors, and develops the strategic partnerships that can address those broad situations for each child served. With this approach the organization is not only creating substantial change in each child’s life, but is able to provide measurable impact that will enhance our local communities. This approach sends an army (over 1,000 annually) of changed young people back into our most underserved communities to re-shape those communities in the targeted significant ways. The BBBST vision ensures substantial impact for this growing community by aligning its’ programming and partnerships to focus on developing our youth around four key community indicators;

      

  • Educated Citizens (Increased School Attendance, Improved Test Scores and Higher Graduation Rates among this vulnerable population will assure this impact)

  • Safer Neighborhoods (In our poorest communities we will see impact on crime rates, violent activities, gang participation, and better coping skills)

  • Healthier Families (Reduced drug and alcohol abuse among this population, lower teen pregnancy rates, improved personal hygiene, and   enhanced parenting skills for this next generation)

  • A More Reliable and Productive Workforce (Improved self esteem and identity, better conflict resolution and communication skills, and an enhanced commitment to individual responsibility and accountability are instilled in our children)
