mentors, Big Homies, with youth, Lil Homies, to foster personal growth,
leadership development, accountability, and community engagement; and
Whereas, the program promotes
values including respect, integrity, education, conflict resolution, and civic
responsibility; and

relationships have been shown to improve outcomes in education, to reduce
involvement in negative behaviors, and to strengthen community ties; and
Whereas, the Big Homie Lil
Homie mentoring program seeks to create safe spaces for dialogue, skill building,
and empowerment, particularly for male youth who may face systemic barriers or
limited access to resources; and
Whereas, supporting mentorship
initiatives contributes to building stronger, safer, and more connected
communities. Now, therefore,
