Big Brothers Big Sisters
BBBS gets donations for Agency Information Mgmt System
 

The Harry Stephens Memorial recently made a donation of $1,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County.   Additionally,  the Greenville Rotary donated $500.00 to the local agency. Both of these donations are specific to the Darke County program and will assist the agency in the  implementation of a new Agency Information Management System. 

This  system which is mandated by our national office, will help us produce greater agency efficiency.  AIM is a technology platform that supports agency performance.  This new system will assure the timeliness of our services and help measure the quality of our match relationships. As a result of the above AIM will provide us with valuable data that will in turn demonstrate positive outcomes in the lives of those children that we serve.   The annual fee for the software is also tied in to the number of children that we serve each year and last year alone the agency served 208 children in the Darke County area.  

Mentoring programs provide support, activities, education, and most importantly, a mentor for children who may be considered at-risk of an abusive environment.  The children involved in this program have the opportunity to engage in fun, social and academic enrichment activities with the interaction of their mentor.  It is our goal to teach these children, through their relationship with their mentor, skills in managing life in a high-risk environment.  

Thanks to generous donations like that from the Harry Stephens Memorial Foundation and Greenville Rotary matches in Darke County area continue to grow and help keep affecting children in a positive way.
