Big Brothers Big Sisters of York Details
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 the communities of Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Newmarket, Aurora, King, East Gwillimbury, Georgina and Whitchurch-Stouffville, as well as Bradford West Gwillimbury, Big Brothers Big Sisters of York offers five quality mentoring programs that help children who, with some extra attention, can strive to achieve their full potential and grow into adults who will contribute positively to society.We believe that by changing the course of young lives we can in turn be changing the course of a community's future, that it will lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment, or to safer schools and neighbourhoods., or to a renewed optimism for growth, and that it will even lead to change on a broader, more far-reaching scale.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. We're Big Brothers Big Sisters, and we believe in the value and values of mentoring.Our Featured Funders:-Ontario Trillium Foundation-United Way Toronto & York Region -Boston Pizza future prospects -York Region
