Big Bunch Launch A Huge Success!

Posted by Julie Crabtree in VolunteeringLittlesGuest bloggersBigsBBBSO

Recently, in large part due to a grant from Bank of America, Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa (BBBSO) launched Big Bunch, a group mentoring program for children who are waiting to be matched with their very own Big Brother.  This format allows children who have been waiting for some time to be matched with a volunteer mentor in small groups for a six month period.  Meet Chris Rose, a Big in this program and intern student with BBBSO who was instrumental in helping Sue Hall, Group Programs Coordinator, build this new program.  Read below as he talks about the first meeting.

From A Mother’s Perspective… a BIG impact

Posted by Julie Crabtree in VolunteeringMentoringLittlesGuest bloggersBBBSO

While there is much research to support mentoring programs, what we love most is hearing about the power of mentoring from our families. We recently asked some of our Bigs, Littles and parents to share their stories.  Juliet, mother of four, had much to say about the BIG impact Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa (BBBSO) has had on her children.
