Today, Big Brothers Big Sisters launches its new 2027-2032 Federation Strategic Plan!

Together, we will Unify. Innovate. Lead Boldly.

Many young people across Canada could benefit from mentoring. Every young person deserves meaningful relationships that help them feel supported and build confidence in their future.

As Jill Zelmanovits, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, shares:

“We cannot remove the adversities young people face but we can help improve how they navigate them. Ninety-eight percent of BBBS mentees say their mentor makes them feel like they matter.”

There’s a place for you. Discover how you can Make Life Bigger for young people:

Walks like this became a space where Maya felt comfortable opening up.

Side by side, without pressure, conversations came more naturally.

Over time, she built trust, confidence, and a stronger sense of connection.

Mentoring creates space for young people to be heard and understood.

What does impact look like? 🩵💛

For us, it’s found in the connections made, the confidence built, and the relationships that continue to make a difference long after a mentoring match begins.

For more than 55 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island has been bringing young people and caring adults together. Every match has its own story, and every story reminds us why mentoring matters.

From the volunteers who show up to the staff and community supporters working behind the scenes, there are so many people who help make these connections possible.

Swipe through to learn more about our impact and hear from Tali, a former mentee whose experience with his mentor, Bob, continues to inspire us today. 🩵
