Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel

Organization Description: 

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel, a mentoring organization for children and youth is committed to providing caring adult relationships for children to promote their healthy development and enhance their self esteem. Children and youth in our programs are often living under stressful circumstances and need a consistent role model and friend.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel offers over 40 years of service to the community of Peel Region. We are members of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada (BBBSC) and our service is offered in accordance with BBBSC National Standards of Service Delivery.

Our agency serves over 1,350 children in Peel. Children and youth in our programs demonstrate increased confidence, improved social skills and improved relationships with family and peers.

Our volunteers enable vulnerable children in our community to play, explore and dream. In return, you will have the experience of a lifetime. By sharing your knowledge and experiences with a child you will learn, laugh and meet great people at our events and activities.
