Weyburn Big Brothers Big Sisters

member of the

Weyburn & District United Way

Mandate:

• To enhance the healthy development of children, youth and their families through positive mentoring relationships.

Programs include:

• In-School Mentoring is a site based program operated in conjunction with local schools.  The volunteer spends one hour each week, during the lunch hour, at one of our elementary or junior high schools.  It is a small time commitment and high school students can volunteer for this program.

• Big Brothers Big Sisters are adults aged 18 and older.  They are volunteers who want to enrich the life of a young person.  They usually spend about three hours a week together.  Sometimes they just hang out and talk but often they play sports together, learn a craft, or attend an event together. 

• Couples for Kids is the same idea as our Bigs programs,  but instead of an individual being matched with a Little, a couple (must have been together at least 2 years)  is matched with a Little and the three of them spend time together.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is always looking for volunteers.  There are so many children ages 6 to 18 who are waiting for a Big.  By volunteering you are not only helping us strengthen our organization, but also our community.
