BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES TOGETHER: ADOPT THE BLOCK WITH THE PEOPLE’S ACTION

Making a difference one block at a time.
​Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Michigan (BBBSSEM) is proud to collaborate with The People’s Action and their Adopt the Block initiative, striving to create safer and thriving communities in Detroit. This partnership underscores our commitment to mentoring and guidance, allowing us to extend our support to more individuals in need.

Our ongoing partnerships are vital in fulfilling our mission. By working with organizations like The People’s Action, we can amplify our impact, reaching more potential mentors and youth in underserved areas. These collaborations enable us to build strong community bonds and foster environments where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

The recent surge of 27 volunteer inquiries for Big Brothers Big Sisters is heartening, showing the community’s dedication to making a difference. The eagerness of these potential mentors reflects a strong desire to positively impact young lives and create lasting connections through programs like Adopt the Block.

One potential Big shared their reason for joining:
“I see this as a chance to give back and be a positive influence for a young person in need. Through mentoring, we can make a real difference in people’s lives.”
Our participation in tabling events, such as those organized by Adopt the Block, plays a crucial role in our outreach efforts. These events provide a platform to engage directly with the community, share our mission, and inspire others to become involved. They allow us to connect with potential mentors and volunteers who are passionate about making a difference.

At BBBSSEM, we believe in the transformative power of mentorship. Partnering with organizations like The People’s Action through Adopt the Block allows us to reach more potential Bigs in underserved areas and offer youth the support they need to thrive. Together, we are dedicated to building strong community bonds, promoting unity, and creating a better future for all.
