Teen Mentor - Teacher Reference - Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver

Big Brothers Big Sisters embodies the principles of diversity and welcomes participation regardless of race, religion, culture or sexual orientation.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that enrols volunteer mentors to provide a healthy role model to children and youth in our community. Volunteer mentors must provide a stable, positive influence over the period of their commitment, which is usually a school or calendar year. Many of the resilient children and youth in our programs have experienced challenges in their lives; relying on the consistent presence of a mentor makes a difference in their lives, likewise ending this important relationship sooner than expected can have a detrimental effect on the young person.

Help us start something for our community’s youth by providing a reference that, to the best of your knowledge, is an honest reflection of the applicant and their ability to be a positive influence in the life of a child.
