We are happy to announce that through our Aldergrove campaign, we have six new In School Mentors! Our "BIG" thanks to those volunteers who have come forward and we hope that in the next few months we will have others come forward who would like to spend one hour a week having fun!

The In School Mentoring program works differently than the traditional Big Brother's matches. This program takes place at the child's school, during the school year. The "Big Buddy" spends one hour per week doing a fun activity or just talking with a child who could use a friend. The Big Buddies are 19 years of age or older and are people who want to have some fun.

This program works well with recently retired seniors or young college students, both of whom have some free time during the day to visit schools. Many of our volunteers point to the convenient scheduling and low time commitment as the benefits of this experience compared to others.
