Volunteers
DO NOT
necessarily have
the time.
They have the heart.

Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.

Who Are We: For just a few hours a couple of times per month, you can help a child succeed. Big Brothers Big Sisters is different from other mentoring organizations in that we seek volunteers who are committed and consistent, willing to serve at least a year, but we hope until a chid graduates high school. Studies show that by doing so, our mentoring services help kids stay in school, avoid risky behaviour, and experience first-hand the importance of helping others in their community.
Professional staff are there to work with you, the child, and the family throughout the relationship to provide necessary training and support.
Seeking Volunteers / Participants: Because every Kid is ONE Caring Adult Away From Being a Success Story.
