Championing the health and wellbeing of youth
Growing up is not the same for all young people but facing adversity should not stand in the way of who they can become. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is proud to be the leading provider of youth mentorship. Our mission is to enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people.
Our Solution
We operate through a nationwide network of specialists who match youth facing adversities with caring mentors. Research proves that having just one trusted adult in their lives can make all the difference. We collaborate with schools, social service agencies, communities, families and funders by bringing together the resources needed to help young people achieve better social-emotional and educational outcomes, manage their mental wellness and build for their future success.
Over 1.2 million volunteer hours each year
Each Big Brothers Big Sisters agency provides direct service to children by matching volunteers and youths in quality mentoring relationships. Our agency staff members are experts at screening volunteers and matching them with a mentee having similar interests.
The national organization provides services and programs to our member agencies to assist them with their work with parents, mentees, and volunteers. Ranging from staff training workshops to our leading Child Safety Program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada works diligently to ensure we have superior quality programming in all parts of the country.
