At Big Brothers Big Sisters we believe that.... Every Child in Canada Who Needs a Mentor, Has a Mentor.

Within every child, there is the potential to achieve success in their adult lives. But for some children, the path to success can be difficult. A caring adult who provides positive role modelling can make all the difference. Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering provides children with mentors through a variety of programs including Big Brother and Big Sister one-to-one match, In-School Mentoring for both boys and girls, and/or Couples for Kids. Research studies have shown that children in our programs do better in school, have better peer relationships and are more likely to go on to post secondary education. It takes just one ... one person who cares about a child. Please make a donation to make a difference in the life of a child. Invest in a child today and you will be building a better tomorrow.
