The month of August celebrates 3 staff anniversaries!  Sue started working with BBBSO in 2002, Sameera joined our team in 2006, and Stephanie in 2008.  Each has had a great impact on the work that we do and in helping us serve 1000 children annually.

The agency's strong staff team is what greatly attributes to the success of our mentoring programs. It's hard to believe that two years has already passed since Robert Eves, Executive Director, and Cindy Smith, Senior Director of Resource Development, were hired as part of the BBBSO management team.

Tracy Moore has been part of our team since May 2008. It takes a patient, organized and dedicated person to run our Meet You In School (MYIS) program because of the stringent timelines and various elements. Over the last two years, Tracy has proven herself to be the right person for the job.

We are excited to announce that 1103 children were mentored in 2009 across all our programs. This would not be possible without such a motivated and enthusiastic team of employees.

We are thrilled to be celebrating Eric Lapierre's third anniversary as a Mentoring Coordinator, Mentoring InSchool with Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa (BBBSO)!

We are very fortunate to work with incredible placement students year after year. This year we had an overwhelming request from College and University students that we could not take them all.  Corinne Miller is a 3rd year student in the Social Work program at Carleton University. Read on as she describes her experience.
