Peer Mentoring

Peer Mentoring is a program designed specifically for High School students.

Students in grade 11 or 12 who are interested in becoming Mentors complete a screening process and Teen Safety training with BBBS staff. Students in the lower grades are referred to the program by their school and are referred to as Mentees. 
Mentors and Mentees are matched one-on-one based on their interests and personalities. Matched pairs meet every week on school property, usually during lunch break, and spend that time together playing sports, sharing interests or just hanging out and talking. The goal of the program is to increase self-esteem and encourage healthy decision making in the students being Mentored. It's a great chance for both students involved to have fun and be a friend.... and Big Brothers Big Sisters is there to support them every step of the way!

Volunteering is a great way to build your resume.

This program is currently offered at CEC, North Colchester High School in Tatamagouche and South Colchester Academy in Brookfield.
