Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area

What Is A Mentor?
Think back to when you were growing up. Was there someone, other than your parents - maybe a neighbour, a family friend, an aunt or uncle, a coach - who shared time with you and made you feel special? When you become a mentor, you can do the same for a young person.

It's about sharing time: playing catch, reading a book or watching movies and making popcorn.

Through our enrolment process, we get to know you so we can find the best match for you. We match you with a young person who has common interests, location and time considerations. Your Mentoring Coordinator at BBBS will be there to cheer you on and help you out if you need it.
