“If you haven’t been a Little Brother it’s really hard to explain adequately how one person can have such a huge impact on your life.  I had my Big Brother for 3 years before he moved away - I like to think he’d be pleased that I’ve just been accepted to Med School.  Now, as an adult, I have a really busy schedule, but I received such a benefit from my Big Brother that it’s important for me to be a volunteer.  The In-School Mentoring Program is perfect for me.  My Mentee is so much like I was - too much energy, short attention span. I really understand his frustration.  We try to do things that are a bit different.  Last week we made nanaimo bars which made him very popular with his teachers.  We get closer every day - it’s an amazing experience.”
Chad, In-School Mentor & former Little Brother

“When I received you as a Big Sister I realized how lucky I was but I never told you.  You helped me through the worst days of my life and shared the good days with me.  You are my best friend and that will never leave my heart.”
Little Sister, Angela in what she describes as a  “long overdue thank you”, 11 years after being matched  with her Big Sister, Annette

“I am writing to thank you and everyone else for getting me a Big Brother, Mark.  We have lots of fun together. We have gone fishing, I’ve seen some airplanes with him, we went to the park and the beach.  Mark even came to my spring concert. I was Papa Bear.”
Little Brother, David

“I feel really special because my Big Brother and Big Sister accept me into their home.  Yes, that makes me feel really special.”
Luke, Little Brother matched to a Big Couple
