Become a Mentor Today!  Volunteer at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area. 

Platform Calgary is proud to be a supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area ensures that children and youth facing adversity have the relationships they need to become resilient and realize their full potential.

With the support of our professional, qualified staff, mentors form strong one-to-one relationships with their mentees that express care, challenge growth, provide support, share power, and expand possibilities.

These critical developmental relationships allow children and youth to strengthen their social emotional learning and executive functioning skills, developing them into resilient young people who are able to overcome life’s adversities and achieve more.

Our aim is to transform our community into an ecosystem full of supportive, caring mentors and natural supports that help our young people thrive.

The BBBS model is the right intervention for youth facing adversity, but who are not yet in crisis. We are a ‘midstream’ agency adding positive supports and improving skills and abilities for those we serve.

There are many ways to support a young person for as little as one hour per week.

Community Mentor: Meet with your mentee (ages 6-24) in the community weekly and explore your shared interests while making a difference.

School-Based Mentor: Mentor a 6-12 year old during school hours and help them build their confidence through a one-on-one relationship.
