As our schools and students continued to face challenges, we focused on investing in long-term and life-changing solutions. BBBSEMO continued to deliver on our historic ABCToday program to improve student outcomes in ABC’s: Attendance, Behavior and Course Performance (reading and math).

Group mentoring was expanded in 2022 to provide extra attention to boys’ needs. This model provided the opportunity for middle school boys to be immersed in mentoring relationships. Mentees grew and experienced new horizons. Our work in ABCToday Schools is critical. We can expand and respond to the immediate needs of youth and families by delivering high-quality, evidencedbased mentoring in all school districts, including rural and urban.
