Big Brothers Big Sisters recognized the Harold J. Miossi Trust at the agency’s shareholders reception. Over the past 5 years, the trust has provided over $100,000 in support to their School Based Programs in San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay.
“The Miossi Trust has ensured multi-level mentoring for elementary Littles and their teen mentors,” said Anna Boyd-Bucy, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “We would not have a school based program at Del Mar Elementary without this support.”
For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Most children they serve are in single-parent, low-income families or in households where a parent is incarcerated. As a part of the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, they make meaningful, monitored friendships between adult volunteers and children. Funding provides for a system of ongoing evaluation and support that is proven by independent studies to help families by improving the odds that participating children will perform better in school, avoid violence and illegal activities, and have stronger relationships with their parents and others.
