Big Brothers

Big Brothers of Sarnia-Lambton

Training is provided for the volunteers as well as resources and support from an agency Caseworker.
Skills Required
For every volunteer matched with a child there is a volunteer behind the scenes helping to ensure the survival of this very vital program. So whether you are eighteen or sixty, man or woman, Big Brothers has a role for you. Some examples include board members, committee members for fund-raising, planning Little Brother activities, or helping out in the office.
Activities
Big and Little Brothers are matched based on similar interests and background and the needs of the child with the strengths of the volunteer. They share in fun based activities in the community 3 to 4 hours a week. The agency also hosts a month group activity where matches and meet, socialize and try something new!
