We are Big brothers Big Sisters of Northern BC

#biggertogether #bigsnbc

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 change the course of a community’s future. That this change could lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment, or to safer schools and neighbourhoods, or to a renewed optimism for growth. It could even lead to change on a broader, more far-reaching scale. Opening a child’s eyes to what is – opens their mind to what could be. 

Since 1979, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive difference in the lives of our local 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. 

As an organization our agency serves communities that reside on the traditional lands of many different nations throughout Northern BC.
