Welcome to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area.

We empower mentoring relationships for children and youth in Calgary, Airdrie, Rocky View, Cochrane, Foothills and Okotoks.

Be a Mentor

We’re looking for teens, adults and seniors who are willing to build a positive relationship with a young person.

From mentoring in a school or your community, to becoming a pen-pal or reading role model with a student, there are many ways to get involved!

Find a Mentor

Do you know a young person who could benefit from a developmental relationship?

These relationships are designed to create close connections where young people can discover who they are, develop abilities, and learn how to contribute to the world around them.  

We are experts at relationships.

When we talk about making change in the world, we’re talking about rolling up our sleeves and being present for the next generation. It’s about seeing their potential and standing alongside them to champion it.

“My favourite part has been watching my Little transform from a little girl to a teenager with opinions and ideas about things. It’s been rewarding to be a part of her life and see her grow up basically. We were talking the other day about how I’ve known her almost half her life which is really awesome.”

Mentor

“The best part of mentoring is learning from each other and having a true friend.”

Mentee

“My favourite part of my match with my mentee is being able to play. Spending time with her and shutting off the adulthood part of my brain is always the best part of my week.”
