Little Sister Referral

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Thank you for your interest in the Big Sisters Mentoring Program! The Big Sisters Mentoring  Program matches Lower Mainland girls, female identifying and non-binary youth (ages 7-17) with a  volunteer Big Sister Mentor in a one-to-one mentoring relationship. For a minimum of one year, each  Big and Little match meets once a week for 2-4 hours. Matches enjoy doing a wide variety of free and  low-cost activities together including crafts, sports, movies, and just hanging out and talking! 

Our volunteer Big Sister Mentors are age 19 or older and provide us with a criminal record check  and references. They are trained in child safety and screened and monitored by our professional  staff throughout their involvement with the program.
