Ignite a child’s full potential by volunteering as a mentor
Our mentors come from various backgrounds, professions, age groups and identities. You might be surprised to learn how many people just like you are already mentoring and thoroughly enjoying the experience. It’s not about being a certain “type” of person; it’s about being a caring, consistent presence in a child’s life.
The more diverse our pool of mentors, the better we can match kids with mentors who can relate to their specific experiences, challenges and aspirations.
No time to volunteer? You can still help!
When you purchase any NESTEA® or Peace Tea® beverage, 50¢† of each purchase helps ignite youth potential through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada mentorship.
Here’s to Great Taste and Positivi-Tea.
