We believe every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, both as individuals and citizens –that by doing so, they will not only do well, they will also do good. Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and of having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of students to an in-school program, we start something incredible – a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment. Witnessing the transformation of a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful, responsible member of their community and society at large is even more satisfying. We are Big Brothers Big Sisters and we believe in the value and values of mentoring.

Mentoring is about the power of friendship. The volunteers and young people in our programs experience the magic of everyday moments when they are shared with a friend. Everyone needs someone to laugh with, share a dream with, and just hang out... with friends it's the little things that mean the most.

We find and match volunteer mentors with children, between the ages of 6-16. Children who are matched with a mentor are less likely to participate in drugs and alcohol and less likely drop out of school. They are more likely to complete high school and go to post secondary school, as well they have better relationships with their peers and other adults.
