LITTLE BROTHERS are great kids anxiously waiting to have fun with someone like you. Their ages usually range from 6 to 16, and all are excited to be a part of this program. If you’ve ever wanted to be a kid again, your Little Brother will be happy to help you out. That’s the magic of the program – you learn from each other.
WHAT SHARING A LITTLE MAGIC CAN DO
Children who spend time with a mentor gain confidence, acquire new skills and competencies, and develop an enhanced capacity to care for others. Mentors experience a sense of discovery and enjoyment as they see the world of possibility open up through a child’s eye.
A BIG BROTHER IS...
- A great listener
- Truly caring about people
- Believing in others’ capabilities
- Patient and kind
- Sensitive to the needs and circumstances of others
- Humourous and outgoing
- Committed to relationships
- Open to different points of view
WHO CAN BE A BIG BROTHER?
You Can!
Being a Big Brother is about being a friend and someone to look up to. It’s about hanging out, talking and sharing, with many smiles along the way. It’s about making one child feel very special. And you’ll feel pretty great too. After the enrolment process, we’ll provide training and match you with a Little Brother who shares your interests. As a Big Brother, you get to build model airplanes, toss around the football, play computer games, hang out… whatever! It’s about sharing a little time together – a few hours a week or every couple of weeks will make a big
difference. You’ll see.
You don’t have to change your life to become a Big Brother… having a Little Brother just means sharing your life with him.
