Volunteers are the heart of our agency. Even if you decide now's not the time for you to be a mentor, there are lots of ways to get involved.

  • If you only have a few hours a year to share, tell us what you'd like to do.
  • If you have a special skill or talent you'd like to share, talk to us.

The Need For New Volunteers

We'd love to work with you to benefit both our community and your organization. You can help us help more kids if you:

  • Sponsor a TEAM outing or special event;
  • Offer your facilities for a group outing, e.g. fitness centre, commercial kitchen;
  • Host a fundraiser to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters;
  • Offer a discount at your place of business for our volunteers and kids - or donate tickets to events;
  • Donate food or prizes for our special events;
  • Help out at our Christmas party or summer picnic or other activities that come up from time to time;
  • Get a team together to bowl in our Bowl for Kids' Sake campaign in Lac La Biche;
  • Golf in or sponsor our annual tournament;
  • Come to our office to open mail or stuff envelopes;
  • Make our business cards available at places you go;
  • Put our ad or article in your community newsletter or company e-bulletin;
  • Include our card in mail you send;
  • Put up our posters - at your workplace, church or grocery store;
  • Ask us to speak to your workplace, church or social group

Fundraising

Fundraising is an essential part of maintaining the continued success of our agency.
