Mission: "Empowering Youth Through Mentorship"
Vision: Every Child Who Needs a Mentor, Has a Mentor.
1000 kids served (this year), 5 programs, $650.00 per match, We fundraise 90% of our total budget.
At Big Brothers Big Sisters we understand that being a child today is tough. The world has become much more complex. Navigating it without hope can be devastating. It leads to low self-esteem that manifests in ways none of us feel comfortable talking about. Bullying, dropping out of school, acting out with risky behavior. In the short term this leads to incarceration, teen pregnancy, and teen welfare. In the long term it leads to an impoverished community, one that fails to achieve high social and economic prosperity. 
It doesn't have to be this way. 
Mentoring changes the life of a child and provides them with hope. It fosters resilience critical in today's increasingly complex world. It deals with the root cause not symptom so the result lasts a lifetime. Invest in a child today. Give to Big Brothers Big Sisters St. Catharines and give a child hope today for a brighter community tomorrow
