Be that person in a kid’s corner.

Big Sisters of B.C. Lower Mainland is looking for caring volunteer mentors for our group mentoring program delivered to girls and gender-diverse youth in grades 4 to 6. Our group mentoring program is:

• My Voice, My Power! explores identity, develops advocacy and strengthens leadership skills to prevent gender-based violence.

Sessions are delivered in school and are 2.5 hours per week for 8 weeks on a set weekly schedule. We are looking for volunteers for Burnaby and Surrey schools.

As a group mentor, you’ll work as part of a team with 1-2 other mentors to facilitate sessions for a group of 8-10 participants. Group mentoring often includes structured activities that promote discussion, skill-building, and personal development.

This opportunity is for:

• individuals who thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy engaging with multiple youth simultaneously.
• those interested in facilitating discussions and activities that promote shared learning experiences.
• volunteers who can commit to a series of structured sessions over a defined term (e.g., 8 weeks).

Why volunteer as a mentor?

As many as 1 in 3 children in Metro Vancouver don’t have a single adult in their life that they can turn to for help. A positive relationship with an adult is the single most important factor in a child’s ability to overcome life’s challenges and reach their full potential. Imagine, the world of possibilities that open up when a child has someone that they can turn to.

As a mentor, you’ll join a supportive community passionate about making a difference and experience the joy of empowering the next generation.

The support and opportunities for growth you can expect from Big Sisters:

• mentor training
• regular scheduled mandatory check-ins with Mentoring Coordinator
• ongoing opportunities to: connect with other mentors and mentor matches, access community activities, events and opportunities, and attend workshops for further personal and professional growth
