Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America: National parent organization and umbrella for all BBBS affiliates including Miami. Operates the same evidence-based youth mentoring model at national scale, providing branding, program standards, and shared infrastructure that BBBSM leverages.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National youth-services umbrella organization and parent brand of the local Miami affiliate. Offers overlapping youth development, mentoring, and college/career readiness programming across clubhouses nationwide.

Emerging players

• Take Stock in Children: Statewide Florida scholarship and mentoring program for low-income students. BBBSM serves as the Lead Agency for Miami; the relationship is both a partnership and a partial overlap in college-readiness mentoring services.
• 100 Black Men of America: National mentoring and youth development organization recognized by BBBSM via a community-empowerment award. Operates comparable youth mentoring, education, and economic empowerment programs in metropolitan chapters.
• Mentee (Mentee Collective): Modern mentoring platform connecting youth with adult mentors through a digital matching experience. Comparable in mentoring mission and youth-development outcome focus, with a tech-enabled delivery model rather than in-person.

Direct peers

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City: Major metro BBBS affiliate serving at-risk youth across NYC boroughs with similar one-to-one, group, and workplace mentoring tracks. Comparable in fundraising model (signature events, corporate giving societies) and reliance on school district partnerships.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles: A large urban BBBS affiliate operating site-based, community-based, and workplace mentoring programs in the LA region. Directly comparable in mission, program mix, corporate partnership model, and scale of children served annually.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade: Direct youth-development nonprofit serving the same Miami-Dade geography with after-school programming, mentoring, and college/career readiness. Competes for the same donor dollars, volunteers, and corporate partners in South Florida.

Regional players

• United Way Miami: Large Miami-Dade nonprofit funder and convener of youth, education, and family services. Comparable as a regional nonprofit competitor for corporate CSR dollars and grant funding in South Florida.
• City Year Miami: AmeriCorps-funded youth-development nonprofit placing near-peer mentors in Miami-Dade public schools. Directly comparable in school-based youth mentoring, college/career readiness, and dependence on the same large school district.
