Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wood Buffalo

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wood Buffalo Volunteers are asked to commit for at least one year so these partnerships can create life‑changing experiences for both mentor and mentee.

Igniting the power of young people in Wood Buffalo through mentorship. 💙 Non-profit that offer free programs for ages 6-18, including One-on-One, Corporate Mentoring, Crafty Kids, Full Circle, Game On, Go Girls, Ignite, PRISM and Teen Mentoring. Our Bigs and Littles mentoring program pairs youth of all genders with caring Bigs who provide guidance, friendship, and a safe space to share the ups and

downs of growing up; through regular outings and weekly time together (about two hours), Bigs and Littles build meaningful relationships grounded in trust, shared interests, and mutual respect, supported throughout by our dedicated caseworkers, and engage in activities like biking, playing sports, crafting, watching movies, or simply enjoying each other’s company. In addition to our One-on-One Mentoring, we offer several free group programs, including Corporate Mentoring, Crafty Kids, Full Circle Mentoring, Game On, Go Girls, Ignite, PRISM and Teen Mentoring.

On the first day of Pride month, we’re celebrating with something close to our hearts.

Two months ago, we launched PRISM, our newest mentoring program created in partnership with Wood Buffalo Pride. PRISM connects 2SLGBTQIA+ young people with adult mentors who share their identity for one on one and group mentoring. These matches build supportive, empowering friendships through regular outings and shared experiences.

The 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Wood Buffalo has a long history of creating informal mentoring networks to survive and thrive. Even with the progress made, many young people still face barriers. Research shows that formal mentoring is a powerful protective factor as youth grow into their sense of self, and PRISM was built to meet that need with care and intention ❤️

Thank you to CIBC Foundation for their generous support of life-changing mentoring programs in Wood Buffalo! 🩵 When a young person has someone to talk to, someone who sees them and believes in them, everything changes in the best ways. They’re more likely to stay in school. More likely to feel confident. Less likely to face challenges with mental health, violence or isolation.

That’s what mentorship does. It’s not just support. It’s prevention.

Thank you to CIBC for making a real impact in the lives of young people in our community. To learn more about the programs they support, visit woodbuffalo.bigbrothersbigsisters.ca/one-on-one.

Now in its ninth year, our Corporate Mentoring Program in partnership with ConocoPhillips continues to give youth in Janvier hands‑on access to career exploration and workplace learning. Last week, students from Father R. Perin School visited the ConocoPhillips Surmont site, where they toured operations, met staff, and suited up in firefighter gear as part of an immersive look at industry careers. 👨‍🚒

These experiences bring classroom learning to life, helping students build skills, confidence, and a clearer sense of what their futures can hold.

We extend our sincere thanks to ConocoPhillips and the Surmont team; they have supported this program since the beginning, igniting the power and potential of young people in Janvier for almost a decade. 🩵 Thank you for changing lives and support youth in our community! ConocoPhillips
