This week we joined Big Brothers Big Sisters to help celebrate their 50th Anniversary! Executive Director Dawn Froese and all of the wonderful volunteers fed us a delicious lasagna dinner, took us for a tour and showed us a presentation of what Big Brothers Big Sisters is in our community.
BBBS creates individual and group mentoring relationships amongst adults and youth.
Mentorship is a two-way, learning and development partnership where the young person needs are placed at the centre.
Because young people’s brains are still developing, mentoring can support that process through back-and-forth interaction like the volley in a good game of ping-pong.
Mentoring is an important way to give youth experience with these essential back-and-forth relationships, developing them into healthy young people better able to deal with and overcome life’s adversities.
Thank you so much for hosting us Big Brothers Big Sisters and for all that you do for our community!
