About Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria Capital Region
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria serves more than 600 children and youth each year in Victoria, Westshore, Salt Spring Island, and the Comox Valley. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria positively affects our community by providing mentoring programs for children and youth, which enhance their sense of belonging, self-worth, resiliency and capacity to make healthy, well-informed choices.
All of the children and youth in our programs need a friend, some a role-model and champion, others require assistance with learning or social issues, and others live in households where family members are challenged by isolation, poverty, or health or addiction issues.
We envision a future when we are able to provide a sustainable, quality mentoring experience for every child or youth who expresses a desire to have a mentor because we know that the power of mentorship has a positive impact that lasts for a lifetime.
