Since 1971 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Regina and Area (BBBSRA), a non-profit organization in Regina, Weyburn and Moose Jaw, has been matching individuals up with young people to help mentor and empower youth to develop social-emotional competence, mental well-being and educational engagement.

BBBSRA is one of the agencies in Saskatchewan that serves over 15 communities. There are 86 Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies nationwide that match over 32,000 children with mentors.

“I would say the need for mentors in our mentoring program in Regina and area is significant,” said Amy Mohr, Director of Development and Communications BBBSRA. “We have 70 kids waiting on our wait list right now. Between 70 to 80 per cent are Indigenous kids.”

Mohr said they are specifically in need of male mentors to be matched with children on the wait list.
