Big Brothers Big Sisters has proudly been providing life changing mentoring relationships in Canada since 1913 and in Peel Region since 1967. The young people within our agency are facing adversity and in need of an additional consistent and supportive developmental relationship. With the guidance and support of a mentor it is our vision that every young person realizes their full potential and achieves their dreams.  Our mission is to enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people. The youth within our agency build meaningful relationships with adult role models while developing their social and emotional competence, mental health and well-being and educational engagement.BBBS, in partnership with the Black Community Advisory Council (BCAC) of the United Way of Greater Toronto, has developed a community-based mentoring program that matches Black youth (ages 7 - 15) with an adult Black mentor to provide support, aimed at promoting a strong cultural identity, a sense of community, and belonging, and consequential leadership skills that will lead to engagement in their community, through participation in various cultural activities designed to achieve these objectives.
