WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP!  

It is more important than ever that we protect and support meaningful mentoring relationships for young people in Winnipeg. We are committed to continuing our work and finding new ways to deliver life changing, developmental relationships that foster resilience in the face of adversity. We know that exposure at a young age to adversities like trauma, mental health, abuse and loss of a parent can negatively affect the developing brains and bodies of children and youth. Safe and caring relationships are a powerful force in combating these negative effects. This is why Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg is working hard to keep our virtual mentoring programs going.  

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg serves between 600-700 young people annually! All Move for Mentoring proceeds will help support mental health for young people in our community.
