Having someone who is there to listen, encourage you and who believes in your potential can make a meaningful difference in the life of a young person.

💭 “I wouldn’t know what to talk about.”

We think you do! Being a mentor is about being yourself, listening and sharing your experiences. You don’t need a perfect plan or to have all the answers - you just need to be willing to connect with youth.

You already have what it takes. Take the first step to becoming a mentor: BigImpact.ca

City Pizza was proud to sponsor the volunteers at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto’s annual Big On Bay event 🍕

Big Brothers Big Sisters TO works to improve the lives of Toronto youth through volunteer-based mentoring. They match young people with caring mentors who help them build confidence and reach their full potential. Big On Bay brings the community together to raise funds for youth mentorship, and it was an honour to help feed the people who make it happen.

Thank you to every volunteer who showed up, and to Big Brothers Big Sisters TO for having us. Your city. Your pizza. ❤️

⏱️ There are young people in your community waiting for someone to be in their corner. Could that be you? All you need to become a mentor is a willingness to show up and be there for youth!

You don’t need to be an expert. If you can lend a listening ear, share your creativity or teach a cool skill, you already have the makings of a mentor.
