September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month! 💚

This month, we're celebrating the people, connections and everyday moments that make mentoring meaningful.

From showing up and listening to sharing laughs, trying something new and simply spending time together, our volunteers remind us that connection can make a BIG difference.

Throughout September, follow along as we share REAL Stories and reflections from BGCBigs mentors across our community.

There are many ways to be part of something BIG.

Mentor. Donate. Fundraise. Support. Partner.

Our Club members ages 6–12 have been exploring Canada through BGC Canada national program Niska’s Quest: a fun, hands-on journey that builds literacy, numeracy, creativity, and cultural understanding.

A huge thank you to TD Bank of Canada Bank for making this program possible. Your support helps our kids grow as lifelong learners and deepen their connection to the land, cultures, and stories that shape our country. 💚🪶

🌍💙 Today, we recognize World Humanitarian Day.

At BGCBigs, we see every day how when a community comes together, things are just better.

It can look like a mentor helping a young person work through something they’ve been struggling with at school. A volunteer lending a hand to serve a hot meal at one of our Clubs. Or a community partner or funder stepping up to help improve the spaces where children and youth learn, play, and connect.

These everyday acts of support may look different, but together, they help build stronger communities and create more opportunities for young people.

Today is a reminder that making a difference doesn’t always have to be something big, it can start by simply showing up for someone in your community. 💙

Young people everywhere have unique experiences, but they also share common hopes for the future—a sense of belonging, opportunities to grow, and communities where they can thrive.

This year's theme, "Different Contexts, Common Aspirations," reminds us that when we invest in young people, we invest in a brighter future for everyone.
