Volunteer Opportunity with Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland

This spring you can make a big difference in someone’s life! Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland is currently looking for volunteer mentors ages 19-25 for its Go Girls! Group Mentoring Program, taking place in Vancouver, Burnaby and Coquitlam Schools.

If you enjoy working with young people and would you like to help young girls learn to embrace active living, balanced eating and a positive body image, then consider volunteering with Big Sisters.

Go Girls! takes place over a two month period and encourages physical activity participation, healthy eating choices, and the development of a positive self-image among girls ages 11-14. Two mentors co-facilitate the program for a group of 8-10 participants and the sessions are two hours long, held after school in select Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Vancouver middle schools. Each session is structured around themes of physical activity, healthy eating, self-esteem, and communication skills.

The most important goal of the program is to positively shape the lives of girls by helping them build a positive self-image – setting them on a path to reach their full potential.

More information on Go Girls! can be found online and the volunteer application is also available online.
