Big Brothers

big brother picA Big Brother is a volunteer over 20 years of age who is responsible and mature, and has a genuine interest in providing guidance and support to a boy.  Big Brothers come from all walks of life: married, single, retired, with or without children.  There is no financial commitment to the Little Brother’s family. 

The most precious gift you can offer is your time and friendship.

How it Works
After filling out a questionnaire, there is an application process to match you with a Little Brother that fits your profile.  Of course, both of you must agree to the match before your first outing.

Outings consist of exciting, interesting and sometimes relaxing activities that you choose to do.  There are also several fun sponsored events provided throughout the year, such as Blue Jay’s Day, BBQ’s and our annual Christmas party.

Training & Support
Our Caseworker guides all Big Brothers through the orientation and training they need to develop healthy and positive relationships with their Little Brothers.

Benefits
By simply listening, talking, being yourself, and having fun, you will help your Little Brother to improve his self-confidence, self-image, academics, personal relationships and interest in activities.  A Big Brother can even increase a Little Brother’s chance of doing well in school. That’s something you can both take pride in.
