Stakeholder analysis

The stakeholders of Big Brother Big sister include the board of directors, the honorary board, the

regional advisory board, volunteers, participants, sponsors, and donors. The board of directors is

responsible for hiring the CEO and determining the vision, direction, and mission of the program.

This board also establishes the program governing system which has been divided into regions.

These regions include Philadelphia, Southern New Jersey, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery.

The CEO of the board of directors oversees the daily activities of the program and protects

donations. They also audit or employ an external audit team. The honorary board on the other hand

performs similar duties but only in their areas of expertise. The board of directors, the honorary

board, and the regional directors are likely to meet the program evaluation positively because they

are responsible for audits and they may sometimes hire an external auditor to establish the

likelihood of success of the program. Another group of stakeholders includes volunteers, sponsors,

donors, and the participants. Volunteers commit their time and knowledge into the program to

educate and mentor children in the program’s scope. They are selected from colleges, the

community, corporates, from the program’s alumni, or online. Sponsors and donors help the

program financially and their privacy is protected by the organization. Lastly, participants are the

children and youths involved in the mentorship. Volunteers, donors, and sponsors are most likely

to meet the evaluation enthusiastically because it will shed light on the fate of their contributions.

The participants on the other hand would be more interested in the stories of those who were

needed in the program activities before them.
