Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland

Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland

Since 1960, Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland has been providing mentoring programs to girls in Lower Mainland communities. We offer three mentoring programs: the Big and Little Sisters program, the Study Buddy program and the Go Girls! Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds program. These programs provide girls, ages 7 to 17, with positive, adult female role models. Our Big and Little Sister matches spend 2 to 4 hours together each week for a minimum of one year. Our Study Buddy matches meet for 1 hour each week for a minimum of 6 months. Go Girls! is a group mentoring program for girls aged 12 to 14 that encourages physical activity, healthy eating and the development of a positive self-image. The majority of our Little Sisters are from single-parent families and often face challenges such as poverty, abuse, and neglect.
