Mission Statement
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph (BBBSG) provides life-changing mentoring programs to more than 600 local youth between the ages of 5-16. Mentoring takes place in both one-to-one and group settings, and is offered in the community and in more than 45 local elementary schools. Children who are matched with a Big Brother, Big Sister or In-School Mentor are proven to perform better in school, develop stronger relationships with their peers, gain a greater awareness of healthy active living and show a deeper commitment to their community. BBBSG's mission is to to enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people, and our vision is that all young people realize their full potential.
About This Cause
As Canada’s leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their potential, both as individuals and citizens. Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and of having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of students to an in-school program, we start something incredible – a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment. Witnessing the transformation of a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful, responsible member of their community and society at large is even more satisfying. Proudly, it’s something our staff, volunteers and donors help bring about every day, and we’re very grateful for their generosity and support. Whether it’s in the form of time or money there is no more important investment we as individuals can make than in helping our nation’s children realize – and share – their full potential. We’re Big Brothers Big Sisters, and we believe in the value and values of mentoring.
