Youth In Care (YIC) is a specialized program categorized under the Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentoring program. Volunteer mentors work specifically with youth in government care. Mentors share their time with a mentee through participating in a variety of activities that reflect the interests of both parties; it’s as simple as being a good friend to a young person. Mentors are matched with mentees with similar interests. Mentees are between the ages of 6-24.

The goal of YIC mentoring is to create healthy positive relationships for youth who may have experienced many transitions throughout their lives.
We believe it’s so important to be able to provide mentoring programs specifically for youth who have had involvement with Alberta Child and Family Services. Mentoring a youth in care has all the same impacts as mentoring through our other programs. Children with mentors experience incredible life benefits such as:

•Becoming 80% more likely to finish high school
•Increased confidence, self-esteem and sense of hope
•Less likely to engage in drugs and alcohol
•Improvement in relationships with adults and peers
