Founded in 1913, we are Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Toronto, and we believe in the values and value of
mentoring. For more than 100 years Big Brothers Big
Sisters has been making a positive difference in the lives
of our city’s youth by developing and implementing a wide
range of mentoring programs, including one-to-one and
group programs, both in the community and in schools.
Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are preventative and
operate from a strengths-based perspective. Through longterm
mentoring, our programs place children/youth in a
position of strength and build resiliency, while instilling the
importance of giving back, of staying in school and having
respect for family, peers and community.
