Big Brothers Big Sisters of Barrie and District

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Barrie and District

For those who did not know, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Barrie and District has been creating friendships for over 35 years. From the beginning, they started out providing exclusively one-to-one relationships for Bigs and Littles. Hence the term Big Brother or Big Sister became a common name for those volunteers registered in the program. Things have developed over the years. The widely respected organization now offers a variety of different programs that serve boys and girls in various capacities.

In-School Mentoring is one of these new programs that has evolved over the years. Jeff has been a mentor since 2009. The satisfaction and sense of purpose Jeff receives in return is insurmountable in many ways. As a business man in the community, giving back his time is a wonderful way to experience being a kid all over again.

You see, being a mentor is not about homework or tutoring! It’s everything but. This is a school-based program that is centered on the same idea as their traditional programs; matching volunteers with children (grade 3+) in a one-to-one relationship that focuses on fun and friendship. As a Mentor, Jeff spends exactly one hour each week doing a fun activity or two or three with his little guy, or just hanging out and talking about stuff. Since the program takes place at the school of the child during the regular school year only (September until June), your time is limited to intense fun and purpose.

Jeff recommend adults who can make this time, to do so. The organization is constantly seeking mature individuals ready to enhance their lives in ways unimaginable. Please feel free to contact Jeff directly if you wish to discuss this and other programs from a hands-on perspective. As well, you will find their web site very informative.
