The Big Brothers Mentoring program provides boys and young men with a role model and a friend to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with. Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, that is built on trust and common interests, and is supported by our experienced case-workers. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.

The Big Brothers Mentoring program usually requires weekly scheduled outings of 2 to 4 hours each, and a minimum of 1 year commitment.

The program strives to do the following:

• Provide a role model and a friend for boys and young men
• Promote the importance of staying in school and healthy relationships with family and peers
• Instill trust and self-confidence in order to make healthy decisions
• Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking
• Have mentors make a difference while having fun
