Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel - Who are our Littles

Littles are:

Children 6-17 years of age living in the Region of Peel
Children and their parent/guardian have decided that they would enjoy and benefit from a mentoring relationship.
Children who want to have fun, feel safe, and share new experiences with trusted adults.
Children who may or may not have special needs and are able to form a two-way friendship with a volunteer
Children who have limited extracurricular activities
Children and parent/guardian are able to make a commitment to the program for at least one year

Many of our Littles are living in single-parent households, however, children in two-parent families are eligible for our programs when the child has a strong need for a mentoring relationship. Support for involvement is necessary from all parents/guardians, including non-custodial parents. Boys who have regular contact more than once per month with an adult male are eligible for our group mentoring and BIG BUNCH programs only.

In the In-School Mentoring Program, girls and boys in grades 3,4, and 5 are referred by school personnel through the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board.
