Description:

Commonly known as the Big Brothers Big Sisters program or one to one mentoring. One mentor (Big) and one mentee (Little) spend time together building a friendship based on trust, support, common interests, and fun! Bigs and Littles participate in a variety of activities—everything from riding bikes, skating, reading, working on homework, cooking, playing video games to just talking and sharing with each other.
Mentees: Anyone between the age of 6 and 17. These kids just need a little extra support.

Locations: Edmonton, Strathcona County, Parkland County, Lac La Biche, Morinville, and St. Albert
Where: In the community at sporting events, festivals, coffee shops, swimming pools, libraries etc.
