DM Me with Doug MelvilleThe Value of Mentorship at Scale and Building Your Personal Board - A Sit Down with Artis Stevens, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters
Today on DM Me, Doug interviews Artis Stevens, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, about scaling mentorship through group and workplace programs...including momentum supported by a $122.5 million MacKenzie Scott donation! Artis describes the act of mentorship as a practice coded in human DNA that should be intentional and reciprocal. He explains BBBS’s 120-year origins as an alternative to the juvenile justice system and its reach across over 5,000 communities. They get into misconceptions about the time commitment for "Bigs", and explains how the matches are made, and why early interactions can feel rocky, but often become long-term. The conversation even touches on corporate mentorship, and how that can make a true difference for someone who may not have a way to advance the corporate ladder otherwise.
