Every child deserves a mentor.

Why not you?

Being a kid isn’t easy.  Throughout their lives, all children and youth face challenges that can be confusing and scary, and are largely unavoidable.  But they don’t have to face them alone. By spending 3 - 4 hours a week together, Big and Little Brothers and Sisters form lifelong friendships that help provide care, stability and support for children and youth in their developmental years, and a learning and enriching experience for mentors. 

Mentorship is a proactive investment to help children grow up happy, confident, healthy and safe … to become productive contributors and leaders in our community.

On average, Big Brothers Big Sisters of London & Area maintains 350+ Big and Little matches with a list of 100 or more children waiting for a special friend at any time.
