Resource Development Officer at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region - Kitchener, Ontario, CA
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region (BBBSWR) is a community organization committed to helping children and youth live their potential. We foster and facilitate high quality and safe mentoring programs for children in need.Many young people find themselves in vulnerable situations and facing adversities such as mental health issues, family violence, identity issues or poor living conditions, which put these youth at risk of not reaching their full potential.With the guidance and support of a mentor, these risks can be avoided, and these young people can gain the confidence to achieve more – higher incomes, happier lives, more contributions to their communities.Our mentors advise and challenge these young people, act as their champions, provide greater consistency in their lives, connect them to broader experiences, opportunities and networks, and provide safe, nonjudgmental environments where the child can grow to reach their potential.Find out how you can get involved by visiting our website
