Big Brothers Big Sisters has been providing life changing mentoring experiences since 1966, and was named One of Financial Post’s Top 25 Charities in 2014. With 50+ years of service to Orillia and area, our experience in providing quality service to our community is endorsed by over 1,000 individuals annually who support us through one of our signature events.
Many children and youth in Canada struggle with societal barriers and face adversities in their lives like detrimental living conditions, family violence, risk factors for mental health, school issues and identity challenges.
These circumstances have nothing to do with the value of who they are or who they can become, but because of these situations, children and youth risk not having the opportunity to live up to their full potential.
Even worse is the possibility of continuing cycles of poverty and crime or developing mental health issues.
This comes at a cost to the young person, and to society.
With the guidance and support of a mentor, these risks can be reduced or even avoided, and youth are reminded they can be anything they dream of being.
Big Brother Big Sisters of Orillia provides direct service to children by matching volunteers and youths in quality mentoring relationships. Our agency staff members are experts at screening volunteers and matching them with a mentee having similar interests, including our Nationally recognized Child Safety Training program.
We put every effort into qualifying, training and supporting our volunteers and families, all with a goal to ensure that every relationship is not only positive but life changing.
OUR VISION
Every child in Orillia & District who needs a mentor, has a mentor.
OUR MISSION
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orillia & District fosters and supports positive mentoring relationships for children in our community.
