Making a difference is easier than you might think. All you need is a few hours a week to spend time with a young person.

If you answer "YES" to any of the questions below we think you will make a great mentor.

Know a few silly jokes

Able to laugh your head off

Like to watch movies

Know great spots to hike, bike or rollerblade

Think half the fun of going to a football game is to eat the hotdogs

At Big Brothers Big Sisters we spend a lot of time making sure our matches are a "good fit" - this means that if you love hockey, we'll match you with a young person who loves hockey; if you like to do crafts while listening to your favourite band, you can do that too.

Our Programs are about building friendships. As a volunteer your primary responsibility is to have fun and to be a friend. All of the wonderful benefits that the youth in our program experience just happen naturally. The impact of a caring adult role model in these early years will last a lifetime.
