Big Sisters

Be a Big Sister!Little sisters are great kids anxiously waiting to have fun with someone like you. Their ages usually range from 6 to 16, and all are excited to be a part of this program.

If you've ever wanted to be a kid again, your Little Sister will be happy to help you out. That's the magic of the program – you learn from each other.

What sharing a little magic can do

Children who spend time with a mentor gain confidence, acquire new skills and competencies, and develop an enhanced capacity to care for others. Mentors experience a sense of discovery and enjoyment as they see the world of possibility open up through a child's eye.

A big sister is...

  • A great listener
  • Truly caring about people
  • Believing in others' capabilities
  • Patient and kind
  • Sensitive to the needs and circumstances of others
  • Humourous and outgoing
  • Committed to relationships
  • Open to different points of view

Who can be a big sister?

You can.
Being a Big Sister is about being a friend and someone to look up to. It's about hanging out, talking and sharing, with many smiles along the way. It's about making one child feel very special. And you'll feel pretty great too. After the enrolment process, we'll provide training and match you with a Little Sister who shares your interests.

Every girl needs a Big Sister to share with, talk to or confide in. Whether it's playing sports, learning a new craft or just goofing around, you'll make a big difference in each other's life. You'll both be forever changed by the experience.
