. ♪ [ applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome co-ceo of big brothers, big sisters of americax miller. and vice president for education united way worldwide, nina sazar o'donnell. >> good morning. i'm nina. >> and i'm max. >> i know proverbs can be cliches. there's an african proverb that so fits the occasion. it says if you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together. it's inspiring to be in this room with all of us and people who are watching via the web all over the country knowing that we are all working together to help communities work together to help every child go far in school, life and work. >> our organizations have been working together for years now. we've been communities and alleys for some time. now we're taking it even further. we're forging a new partnership to increase the number of mentors working with children facing adversity in kindergarten and through middle school. and especially in the high risk schools. >> big brothers, big sisters mentoring model is proven to have positive effects in a child's life. and one of the things that unit

out in school or fails a test or skips class, a big brother or a big sister is there to work with the family and the teacher to make sure that that child gets back on track. and it's not just about the bad things. when good things happen, they celebrate that together, too. >> that's the kind of synergy we want to create in every community. we hope dom back here in a few years and report that all 1,200 united ways and all 355 big brothers big sisters chapters are doing the same. we hope you all join us and together we'll all work to make sure every community helps all of our children go far in school, work and life. >> thank you and please enjoy this fantastic video capturing this wonderful partnership. >>> i'm ron jay. i live in plantation, florida. i'm 14 years old and this is my school. have i a big family, three sisters and a little brother. this is my mom and this is my dad. a lot of kids in my community don't even finish school, don't even care about school, but i just got into one of the best high schools in the city. this is my true story of the people who helped me get there.

though not formally with the big brother, big sister program. at one point, he and two of his siblings even came to live with me in philadelphia for the summer. i was 22, had to grow up really fast. michael will tell you his story. but suffice to say from my perspective that when i left for africa and sort of left michael hanging, eventually he dropped out of school and lots of stuff happened that i will leave to him to tell. but in effect, again, the formal system abandoned him. but i don't think i can ruin the ending of that story because he's right here, sitting here. a husband, a father to five boys, a coach and mentor himself now, if i tell you this. michael's told me many times over the last few years that if he hadn't had a big brother, someone investing and believing in him, particularly in his early years, he might never have made the choice to leave the streets behind. for years, michael had someone who challenged him and cared about what he was cdoing. that's what mentors do. the third story is about jamar, from right here in d.c. on

all kinds of evidence -- there's all kinds of evidence that big brother/big sister mentoring programs have a remarkable effect over time on kids developing self-esteem and there are countless other school and community-based programs that have made a difference in preventing crime and dropout rates, the kind of things hill was talking about. but they are chronically underfunded. so in conclusion, mentoring and mentorship, i have seen firsthand how mentoring can really make a difference in young peoples' lives mostly because it addresses that critical missing ingredient for so many young people from difficult backgrounds. self-esteem, self-worth that they experience. without it, there's no foundation. mentors can help develop that. and mentors come in many forms. big brothers, teachers, coaches, camp counselors, all the kinds of programs that the youth promise act would support. most importantly, mentors in the programs they are apart of provide a light that helps a young person navigate through difficult waters. and sometimes that light can make the difference between freedom and inca
