Volunteer as an individual, corporate team or as part of a group and help ensure that every child who needs a mentor will have a mentor.

As Canada's leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their potential, both as individuals and citizens. Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and of having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of students to an in-school program, we start something incredible – a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment.

September 30th is Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today, we remember the children who never returned home and honour Survivors, their families, and communities.

Reconciliation begins with the courage to listen, the humility to acknowledge past and ongoing harms, and an unwavering commitment to truth while confronting denialism in all its forms.

Today, we commit to listening, learning, remembering, and carrying that responsibility forward—not only today, but every day.
