It is with great pleasure that we present Mentoring Works!, a compendium of resources designed to provide essential information and to facilitate dialogue between Mentors and youth.

This resource has been developed for use by Big Brothers Big Sisters Abbotsford, Mission, Ridge Meadows based on the questions that are raised by children, their parents and mentors.  We hope the information following is also relevant to other individuals or organizations that work with youth and for whom the information is generally relevant.  Have fun exploring the following pages, print off what you like and let our office know if you have any questions or comments!
