Every boy needs a Big Brother to share time with, have fun with, talk to or confide in. Whether it's playing sports, playing computer games or just goofing around, you'll make a big difference in each other's life.
Our Original and best-known One-to-One program gives volunteers the chance to build a relationship with a child/youth. As a Big Brother in this program, you will be an adult mentor to a Little Brother (6-18 years old) in a one-to-one relationship.
You don’t have to change your life to become a Big Brother… having a Little Brother just means you have someone else to share your life.
We match a Big Brother with a Little Brother taking care to ensure they have similar interests. Matches spend one-to-one time together doing things that friends do… like talking, playing ball in the park, watching a movie or just hanging out.
There are also several fun sponsored events provided throughout the year such as the Soap Box Derby at High Park, the Winter Carnival and Celebration of Friendship picnic for all Big and Little Brothers and Sisters.
