Areas of Responsibility: 

For 47 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee has created and supported mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. During the history of this organization, more than 50,000 young people have had their lives changed through Big Brothers Big Sisters. Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) has done this by creating meaningful, purposeful, relationships between adult volunteers and children in the Metro Milwaukee area. Nearly 90% of the youth served come from low-income households, 65% have been raised by a single parent, and 85% are people of color. It has never been more vital to break the cycle of poverty and provide equal access to opportunities.

The demand for BBBS services has never been greater. This organization is an essential asset in the Milwaukee community, strengthening the networks of services available to vulnerable families.  Research proves that one-on-one mentoring fosters developmental, educational, and lifelong success in youth.  BBBS will need to be creative and inventive in its programs in the new post-Covid world. To continue to have impact and serve the youth who are the citizens and community leaders of tomorrow, the tried-and-true model will need to be one of the programmatic options, not the only option, to meet the current and future needs of youth facing adversity in Metro Milwaukee.

BBBS seeks a leader who is passionate about the transformational power of mentoring.

This person will be aware of the social injustices in the community and will be actively incorporating BBBS mentoring services into the community solution.

Valuing diversity, equity, and inclusion and demonstrating those values through all aspects of this leader’s work will be critical to this role. Being a strong advocate for the organization, the staff and themselves will be highly valued. A collaborative style, servant leadership mindset, dynamic personal presence, natural optimism, humility, good listening skills, and a sense of humor are important personal attributes we seek.
