Exciting news!

The BBBSN and Pathstone partnership location at the Niagara Pen Centre is moving to an expanded unit in the Zehrs hallway across from Booster Juice! To make the move as smooth as possible, the current unit will be closed on Tuesday, September 8th, and the new unit will open on Wednesday, September 9th.

Once we're in the new unit, BBBSN will be on site Tuesday's and Wednesday's from 11am to 7pm. We encourage community members to come in and talk to BBBSN staff about volunteer opportunities, child and youth enrollment, and other ways to support youth mentorship in Niagara!

Have you bid on anything in our Community Art Auction?

In partnership with Stamford Estates, we collected 46 pieces of art created and donated by local artists, Stamford Estates residents, and BBBS Niagara mentees for the Community Art Auction.

All proceeds from the auction will support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Niagara's mentoring programs, helping local children and youth build confidence, create meaningful connections, and reach their full potential.

You can browse the collection, place your bids, and help us make a BIG difference through the power of art and mentorship here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/art-auction-for-youth-mentorship

When local organizations team up, amazing things happen for our community. 🤝✨

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Niagara is incredibly proud to partner with Journeys by CAA Niagara to bring you an afternoon at the ballpark! Together, we are hitting the road to watch the Toronto Blue Jays host the Cincinnati Reds.

This partnership isn't just about getting great, shady seats in Section 234 or providing a stress-free bus ride straight from Niagara (though those are excellent perks!).

It's about collective impact. ❤️

By joining us, you are directly helping us ignite the power and potential of young people in our region. A portion of every ticket sold goes directly toward sending 5 of our incredible mentor-and-mentee matches to the game at absolutely no cost to them.
