BBBSQ is looking for potential partnerships with businesses to support our Teen Mentoring Program. Last year 51 teen mentors volunteered 470 hours working with elementary school children. This program is offered at no cost to the teens or elementary students. Training, screening, transportation, on-site supervision and assessment are all provided. Mentors use the knowledge from their respective classes to anonymously record, observe, and assess the mentee’s social interactions and general age/stage development.
The impact on mentors and mentees is positive and rewarding.
A big thank you to Staples for the “Stock the Lockers” campaign.
We are now taking names for school supplies. Call our office to put your name on the list.
Thank you to all our volunteers and community partners for your dedication in serving the children of Quesnel!
Michelle Riley is executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Quesnel.
