The Power of An Hour!   Be an In-School Mentor!

Make a difference in the life of a child in as little as one hour a week by volunteering to be an In-School Mentor.  Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel in partnership with the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board matches elementary girls and boys with a caring adult mentor.  Matches meet for one hour each week from September – June during school hours and on school property to share in fun activities such as playing board games, baking or playing sports.  The result – increased self esteem, better grades and improved relationships with family and peers.

Children are in need of mentors in our schools and we need your help.  You can make a significant difference by volunteering or encouraging your friends and family to mentor a child in a school in their neighborhood.

The In-School Mentoring Program is currently offered in 25 DPCDSB schools across Peel.  Call 905-457-7288 or visit www.bbbspeel.com for more information.
