Big Pride



Miami Fl-  Local Big Brothers Big Sisters introduces the new ‘Big Pride’ initiative. In an interview with Anne Lorenz and Dennis Docil about the new initiative to help the LGBTQ youth.  Lorenz states that “We are taking the first step in setting the example for Big brother Big sisters for cities all around the country.” Although Big Brothers Big Sisters has always provided service to any child, this initiative is to let the community no that and to allow parent and children to have a mentor that they can come to within the LGBTQ community who is understanding and caring.  LGBTQ youth are at higher risk of depression, stress, anxiety, and social isolation than other teens. Big brothers Big sisters are always looking for new ways to help struggling youth in our communities and 'Big Pride' is one way the organization is doing just that. Big brothers Big sisters branches across America are adopting the 'Big Pride' initiative into there own programs.

NE Wisconsin in need of volunteers

The Northeast Wisconsin chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters is in need of volunteers, and NBC26 provided a nearly three minute segment to promote the organization.  The package featured 'Big' Deb Gussert and 'Little' Isabelle Charlier, who will be receiving the award for "Match of the Year" later this month.  Following the package, the anchor explained that more than 100 children are on a wait list for mentors.   In addition, a new mentorship organization was created for middle school and high school students because 6,000 students are in danger of not graduating.   The article read as if it were a press release from us, which was a great form of earned media to promote the organization.
