Supporting Our Community, Making a Difference

-

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lethbridge and District has been serving children and youth in our community since 1973. Our organizati­on makes a positive difference in the lives of youth by implementi­ng a wide range of mentoring programs. Children and parents come to Big Brothers Big Sisters because they are seeking another positive adult role model in their child’s life. Our organizati­on has seen significan­t growth over the last few years serving over 500 kids in 2017 and over 600 kids in 2018. So many kids are waiting for a Mentor! We have over 100 children waiting to be matched. Volunteer Mentors are matched with children and they spend time together each week. Matches are made based on compatibil­ity. The main goal of a match is to have fun, and build a friendship. Children are provided with opportunit­ies that they wouldn’t have otherwise. Children and volunteers gain a sense of community, a new friend, and a chance to make a difference. Consider signing up for a Big Brothers Big Sisters program today! You will enjoy going to the movies, kicking a soccer ball, attending a hockey game, making arts and crafts, cooking and baking, or going for a walk in the river bottom, and you will remember what it’s like to be a kid! If you are interested in becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister please drop by our office to pick up an applicatio­n at 622 6 Ave. S. or visit www.BeBig.ca
