About Us


Our Vision - All young people realize their full potential.

Our Mission - Enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people

About – For almost 85 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters Niagara has been making a meaningful difference in the lives of at-risk youth through our mentoring programs. For both Big and Little, the mentoring experience becomes a life-changing relationship built on friendship, empowerment, and trust. Mentoring is an important way to give youth experience with these essential back-and-forth relationships, developing them into healthy young people better able to deal with and overcome life’s adversities. Children with mentors are more likely to graduate from high school, go to university, get full time employment and have on average higher incomes than those who do not have a mentor.
