Big Brothers Mentoring Program

MAKING A DIFFERENCE WHILE HAVING FUN

Make a positive impact on the life of a boy or young man by volunteering as a Big Brother Mentor. Teaching by example and acting as a role model, you’ll get to share stories and experiences and help a child discover their full potential.

As a Big Brother, you’ll be part of a program that strives to:

  • Provide a role model and a friend for boys and young men;
  • Promote the importance of staying in school and healthy relationships with family and peers;
  • Instill trust and self-confidence to make healthy decisions;
  • Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking; and
  • Above all, make a difference while having fun!

MANY LITTLE BROTHERS DESCRIBE THIS EXPERIENCE AS LIFE-CHANGING. MANY BIG BROTHERS REPORT THE VERY SAME THING.

HOW DOES BEING A BIG BROTHER WORK?

In general, the Big Brothers Mentoring Program requires one regularly scheduled outing a week (lasting 2 to 4 hours), and a minimum of a one year commitment, as with all our mentoring programs.

These regular outings help build a relationship with your Little. Built on trust, respect, and common interests, these relationships are supported by experienced case workers.
