An evening of
learning, connecting and creating something BIG!
Cranbrook, BC -- Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook is looking for community members to attend
their information session on June 5,
2013 at the College of the Rockies
from 7 - 9pm
in room 205. This session will include fun learning about what programs are
available in the community and the steps to getting involved. Participants in
our current “matches” will be available to talk to and share their experiences
about the program. Big Brothers Big Sisters staff will also be there to answer
any questions and snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Cranbrook was established in 1977 and is the largest youth mentoring
organization, providing quality adult mentoring services for more than 80 local
children and youth. Our mentoring programs have proven to be instrumental in
reducing truancy, bullying, early school leaving, delinquency and substance
abuse.
All of the children
and youth in our programs are matched with adult mentors based on similar
interests. Each mentor is expected to spend an hour a week with their match,
and this can be done in our in school programs or our traditional community
programs. Currently we have over 20 children on the waitlist, all of whom would
greatly benefit from having a meaningful mentoring relationship.
This evening
information session is a great opportunity to learn about a program that has
the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of children and
youth. Our programs would not be possible without the dedication from all the
incredible mentors involved. So please come out to this session and start
something BIG!
