ViaPath Foundation Awards Grant to BBBSNCA
FALLS CHURCH, VA, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The ViaPath Foundation has announced a significant ,000 grant to Big Brothers Big Sisters of the National Capital Area (BBBSNCA). This funding aims to provide resources crucial for at-risk youth. The organization focuses on breaking the generational cycle of incarceration and reducing recidivism rates through impactful initiatives and services.
Empowering At-Risk Youth Through Mentorship
Big Brothers Big Sisters pairs local at-risk children, ages seven to eighteen, with mentors in various settings. This approach fosters healthy relationship-building and personal development. Through its community-based, school-based, and workplace-based mentoring programs, BBBSNCA empowers children—referred to as “Littles”—to develop self-confidence and make positive life choices.
The ,000 grant from ViaPath will support essential programs, including the Mentoring Children of Promise Initiative. This initiative specifically aids children who have incarcerated parents. BBBSNCA’s work has shown remarkable success in helping participants stay out of trouble while guiding them toward productive futures.
Impact Statistics Highlight BBBSNCA’s Success
Research indicates that children involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters programs have drastically improved outcomes. Participants are 85 percent less likely to engage with juvenile courts compared to their peers. Additionally, they are 70 percent less likely to initiate drug use and 64 percent more likely to achieve higher academic grades. These relationships between Bigs and Littles profoundly affect young lives in the National Capital Area.
Leadership Voices Support for Big Brothers Big Sisters
“Big Brothers Big Sisters profoundly impacts children needing support, especially those without access to one or both parents,” stated ViaPath Foundation chair Shirley Moore Smeal. “We are elated to support the important work that Big Brothers Big Sisters accomplishes in the community.”
BBBSNCA President and CEO Michael Sanzi expressed gratitude for the grant. “We are incredibly thankful to the ViaPath Foundation for their generous support. This funding directly enhances our mentorship capabilities for children facing significant challenges, including those with incarcerated parents,” he said. “With ViaPath’s partnership, we can continue empowering our Littles to cultivate strong relationships and make positive life choices.”
About BBBSNCA and ViaPath Foundation
Since its inception in 1949, BBBSNCA has operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The organization believes every child possesses the potential to thrive and succeed. As the largest donor-supported mentoring network in the Washington region, BBBSNCA creates meaningful matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”) across the National Capital Area.
The ViaPath Foundation, part of ViaPath Technologies, is dedicated to making a significant impact on the lives of at-risk youth. This commitment aligns with the company’s mission to break the cycle of incarceration through transformative technology and services.
