By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community we are accountable for each child in our program achieving: • Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships • Avoidance of risky behaviors • Educational success

Our Association raises 100% of its necessary funding through events and donations and all revenue stays specifically in Orillia to support the existing local Big Brother Big Sister programs. Today, we support over 150 families annually in a variety of mentoring programs which include Big & Little matches, couple matches, group matches, cross-gender matches, In-School Mentoring, teen mentoring and ‘Go Girls’. We also offer regular group activities for our entire membership which facilitate the physical, social, intellectual and emotional needs of everyone in our program. These programs are sustained through the efforts of minimal staff and approximately 100 volunteers.
