Our History in Weyburn,Saskatchewan

In 1981 our agency was founded by three social workers who recognized the need for mentorship in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Weyburn was then incorporated in 1982. Since then, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Weyburn has been creating positive, healthy friendships between adults and youth.

In 2000, we implemented the In-School Mentoring program which is currently our fastest growing. 2004 saw the addition of our Big Bunch program, it helps to serve the needs of the children not only on our waiting lists, but all those involved in our programs! Our Kids 'N Kops summer camp has been going strong since 1999, thanks to a rewarding partnership with the Weyburn Police Service.

Our work is to mobilize the incredible power of a consistent postive relationship in the life of each young person. As we build friendships, children and youth are given a shoulder to lean on, a model ot strive for, and someone to cheer them on through the challenges of growing up.

We have a variety of different programs to suit the lifestyles of our volunteers as well as to serve the different needs of children and youth in our community. We are proud of our achievements and continue to strive to be on the leading edge of the Big Brothers Big Sisters movement in Canada.
