WE CHANGE LIVES
BECOME A BIG SISTER A BIG BROTHER
The Big Brothers or Big Sisters mentoring program offers boys, girls, young men and young women a model with whom they can exchange and share their life experiences. The mentor and the mentee build a relationship of trust by doing regular activities together chosen according to their common interests. This relationship, based on trust, is supported by our experienced social workers.
BECOME A GREAT COUPLE
BBBSO’s Couples Mentoring Program pairs a volunteer mentor (Big Brothers and/or Big Sisters) with a youth who share common interests. The program accepts young people aged 6 to 17, mainly from single-parent families. The volunteer mentors thus become involved in the life of the young person for at least one year and will then serve as a positive model in the latter’s life by helping him to reach his full potential.
MENTORSHIP 16 – 21
Big buddies is a program designed specifically to support young people as they enter the adult world. By creating these new types of pairings, a responsible adult will have the opportunity to be present to meet the different needs that their young mentor may present. Supervised by a worker, this relationship will allow the young person to fulfill himself and achieve his ambitions.
