About Campaign
Big Sister Mentoring Program
What is the program?
It takes a community to raise a child, and for young pre-teen girls, a mentor can be everything. A friend, a confidante, a role model.
For the past 18 years, the Big Sister Program has made it their mission to promote healthy, supportive and enduring friendships through its mentorship program.
The formula is simple: pairing post-seminary and 8th grade girls together. The mentor and mentee meet up once a week to connect over anything from shopping to a cup of coffee, studying for an upcoming test or playing a board game.
The result is nothing short of amazing. Parents, teachers, mentors and mentees alike see the power of true mentorship. In an unpressured, relaxed setting, our young girls are free to express themselves to an attentive adult. They are heard, encouraged, and supported.
Take a trip back to being a young blossoming 12 or 13 year old girl. Imagine having a Big Sister from the community. Just imagine the impact of self esteem, positive relationships, having someone to confide in, and just having a real and positive MENTOR in your life!
Mentors receive regular training and coaching from highly trained individuals in the field of family health and education. Testimony of how these young girls are thriving is all the validation we need to continue our work!
Three years ago, all government funding for the Big Sister Program was cut due to budgetary constraints. We launched a campaign to be able to continue our vital work. We were grateful to have received a tremendous outpouring of community support.
This year, we turn to you to ask you for your continued support of the Big Sister Program. The program is completely funded by individuals like you. Your donation enables us to continue this vital work!
Will you help us give our young girls a mentor, a Big Sister they deserve?
