For over 90 years, the Big Brothers Big Sisters Foundation has been helping the underprivileged children of American stay off the streets and keep their heads in the books. Not only do they help with all sorts of educational needs, but it is proven that they lower the rates of pregnancy, inner-city youth delinquency, dropouts, and other negative life situations (Blechman, 1992). In fact, these lowered rates can be traced all the way back to the first Big Brothers agency in 1902.

Even though David Royse's article is not complimenting the good parts about Big Brothers Big Sisters, his information seems really helpful and I will most definitely be using this in my final paper. LOVE.
