In-School Mentoring: Similar to the above mentioned, the only difference is this takes place in a school setting over the course of a year for an hour each week! Mentors can meet with the mentee and play games, do crafts or just hang out!
Go Girls! Mentoring: is a mentoring program for girls aged 12-14 and focuses on healthy eating, physical activity and self esteem. This is typically 7 sessions over a 7-10 week period.
Game On! Mentoring: is mentoring similar to that of Go Girls! offering boys a chance to learn about similar things such as healthy eating, physical activity and other topics as well.
Dream Catcher Mentoring: is an e-mentoring program that empowers students to realize the rewards of staying in school! Students can connect with Canadian mentors who work in their fields!
This just covers a bit of what Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada does! Because of the great work Big Brothers Big Sisters does, JUST JUNK® CEO Mike Thorne donated a corporate suite with 18 seats at a recent Buffalo Sabers hockey game. Mike said that he wanted "to give the opportunity to those who might not get to experience games and hoped that it would put a smile on the children's faces".
