Just Around The Corner!!

My Dear Mentors, New and Experienced,

If you can believe it, summer is almost over. All of us here at Big Brothers Big Sisters sure hope you've had a happy, healthy, and safe summer. We know you'll all have something awesome to share with your mentee, whether you're meeting them for the first time, or getting to reunite since the end of the school year.

We are rapidly apporaching what will be our 6th year of running this amazing program. It sure is amazing for us to get to know you guys over the years that you volunteer for us. We are always amazed at how kind, eager, determined, reliable, and energetic our mentors are every year. Without teens like you, none of this would be possible.

Who We Are

We - The ISM casework team are made up of Jessika, Ashley, and Delaney. You'll all have the opportunity to meet each of us throughout the year, but one of us will be your devoted "go to".
We work in close connection to your high school liaison to ensure that everything runs smoothly. We are always happy to hear from you so feel free to email or call whenever you feel like it!!

A Few Things To Look Forward to This Year

With a growing digital and social media world, we've decided to jump on board and keep you guys informed - ONLINE! Please use this site to see what's new and exciting in the Teen ISM world. Check regularly for activity ideas, photos and stories on highlighted matches or events!! If you have amazing stories to share with us, please do!! We will be looking for great stories to share.

We will be working with our fabulous team of  In School Mentoring Caseworkers to plan and deliver some awesome group activities. Whether it's a classic favorite like carving pumpkins, or it's having presentations on DNA extractions, baking cookies, or organized gym games - this is your information centre for what will be happening at your schools.
