Every year Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations across Canada mentor over 40,000 young people. Youth who are fortunate enough to go through one of our mentoring programs do better in school, make better life choices, pursue healthier lifestyles, and feel confident and happy.

The impact is incredible, and it sounds so simple: give a child a mentor and change their lives. But mentoring in today’s changing landscape is complex and requires our staff to have leading skills in marketing, fund development, critical mentoring and volunteer attraction and retention.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters 2018 Regional Conventions facilitates skill development and information-sharing across our network.

There is a plenary for each strategic pillar Self-select workshops on various topics Everyone joins the plenaries - but you decide which workshops to attend!

What to Expect

The content and agenda for the 2018 Regional Conventions are divided into our four strategic pillars:

Each pillar begins with a plenary session (consistent across all regional conventions) and is followed by a series of workshops tailored to local, regional needs.

Workshops focus on the three key organizational areas: Service Delivery, Marketing and Business Development, Leadership and Executive Functioning.
