Big Brothers Big Sisters is asking for caring individuals to consider becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister to one of the 19 children currently hoping for a special friend in their life. After a screening and training process, a volunteer can share fun activities with a young person and be a kid again. The agency provides support and monitoring throughout the match.
There are so many children in our program who would appreciate and benefit from a one-on-one friendship and the opportunity to experience new adventures.
Even though each of the children is special with their own unique personality and interests, they have the same wish – to have a Big Brother or Big Sister. Do you have a Little time for a ‘Little?’ Think BIG for your New Year’s Resolution. Consider becoming a mentor. We need four more to reach our Ready, Set, Match goal of 10 Mentors is 100 days. Give us a call and learn about our programs.
If anyone wants to help fund our January group outing – it would be greatly appreciated. We are taking our group to the matinee. This is the only time for many of our Littles to have the opportunity to enjoy a movie at the theatre.
At this special time of year, we invite you to join our Circle of Friends. Visit our website at bigbrothersbigsistersofquesnel.ca and make an individual donation. For $10 you can help. The funds will be used for our programs and activities for the children/youth participants.
