Big Brothers Big Sisters of Vegreville

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Vegreville Start Something We’re Big Brothers Big Sisters. That it could lead to a eduction in poverty and unemployment. Or to safer schools and neighbourhoods.

We believe every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, both as individuals and citizens – that by doing so, they will not only do well, they will also do good. We believe that by changing the course of young lives we can in turn be changing the course of a community’s future. Or to a renewed optimism for growth. That it could even lead to change on a broader, more f

ar-reaching scale. We believe that opening a child’s eyes to what is – opens their mind to what could be. For nearly one hundred years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive difference in the lives of our nation’s youth by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs. One-to-one and group programs, for both in school and outside of school. Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and of having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of students to an in-school program, we start something incredible – a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment. Witnessing the transformation of a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful, responsible member of their community and society at large is even more satisfying. Proudly, it’s something our staff, volunteers and donors help bring about every day, and we’re very grateful for their generosity and support. Whether it’s in the form of time or money there is no more important investment we as individuals can make than in helping our nation’s children realize – and share – their full potential. We’re Big Brothers Big Sisters, and we believe in the value and values of mentoring.

Boys and Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton and Area has some important news to share with all of you regarding our Big Brothers Big Sisters of Vegreville program.

After much deliberation, careful thought and consideration, we have made the difficult, but necessary, decision to close all of our mentoring programs in your community.

This was not a decision we came to lightly. Despite our best efforts, we have struggled to maintain staff and to recruit the volunteers needed to sustain our programs in your community.

As a result of this decision, effective immediately, we will be closing our client waitlist and we will no longer be accepting new applications for mentors or recruiting volunteers in these communities. We have made plans to close or transition all existing community-based and school based as we help them transition to naturally supportive relationships.

If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to connect with Liz O’Neill, Executive Director at 780-822-2525, or Tracy Lockhart, Manager of Satellite Sites at 780-420-6352.
