The Golden Anchor Endowment Fund
The Golden Anchor Fund was establised in honor of Bill Golden. He was an "at-risk" youth growing up in a single-parent home with few, if any, anchors during his early school years. However, through positive adult intervention in his teens, he learned to hunt and fish. As well he was offered an after school job. Strongly encouraged by these "adult friends" to continue his education, he became a teacher and positively influenced numerous at-risk youth over a 20 year career. He believed "educators," whether professional or volunteer, should be creative and flexible in their attempts to educate and interact with youth. He understood the importance of enhancing individual assets and skills to help vulnerable youth develop self esteem.
In Keeping with The Anchor's mission: To encourage the local use of proven alternative methods of educating youth who are at risk of academic and/or social failure, in December 1999, The Anchor became a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ozaukee to work together in fulfilling their mission: To provide a caring adult in the life of every child.
We - together - a non-profit, charitible organization seeking to encourage community members - Adults and Youth - to share constructive leisure time together, and possibly benefit from this experience as Bill Golden did.
What It Does
The Anchor provides a golden opportunity for all those Bigs not yet totally committed to the time requirements of a matched Big. It offers the occasion to come together and experience the ease of sharing time with all those Littles awaiting matches.
Help grow the Golden Anchor Endowment Fund to ensure there will always be activities scheduled for all Littles and Bigs.
