The power of an hour can make a BIG difference!

We’re looking for In-School Mentors in the Town of Wolfville ! 💙

Just one hour a week can mean so much to a young person. It could be an hour spent playing games, making crafts, talking, laughing, or simply being there to listen.

It might feel like a small part of your week, but to a child, it can mean having someone in their corner, someone who believes in them, and someone they can count on.

You have the power to build confidence, encourage growth, and make a lasting impact...all in the power of an hour.

7 years. Countless memories. One incredible connection. 💙

We’re celebrating another 7-year match anniversary this month! What started as a mentoring relationship has grown into a lasting connection built on trust, friendship, and showing up for one another.

Long-term matches like this are a beautiful reminder that mentoring isn’t just about the time you spend together, it’s about the lasting impact that positive relationships can have on a young person’s life.

Here’s to 7 years of memories, growth, laughter, and Making Life Bigger together! 🎉

Thank you for being an incredible example of the power of mentoring. 💙

💫Get to Know Our Staff💫

Meet our Mentoring Coordinator, Julia!

Julia's passion for mentoring comes from wanting to make sure every young person feels included, valued, and safe. She's dedicated to supporting youth and helping create meaningful connections that can make a lasting difference.

Did you know that her BBBS journey started through a student placement with the Halifax agency in 2022 as part of her Bachelor of Social Work degree? That same year she stepped into her current role with us in the Annapolis Valley! We’re so grateful to have her passion, dedication, and heart as part of our team 💙

Thank you for all you do, Julia, to support youth, strengthen connections, and make mentoring possible in our community!

Seven years ago, this match began a journey that has created countless memories, built confidence, and made a lasting difference.

Mentoring is about showing up, building a relationship, and being there. The impact of this connection is a wonderful reminder of just how powerful mentoring can be.
