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.
