Your thoughtful donation supports these costs so that all youth who want a mentor can have one. Thanks to you, the child, their family and their mentor will receive training and support through a designated professional caseworker. They will also receive access to tickets, events and extra help like holiday hampers and winter clothing.  Most of all, youth mentored through BBBSO programs grow up to be healthier, happier adults who understand the importance of giving back. Along with gaining a lifelong friend, they will grow up to support their community by volunteering or becoming donors themselves.  Thank you for making a BIG difference in the lives of young people across Ottawa.   With Gratitude, Thank you   Erin Helmer | Director of Development  (she/her)Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa – Grands Frères Grandes Soeurs d’Ottawa 1645 Woodroffe Ave., Suite 12, Ottawa, ON, K2G 1W2 | O. 613.247.4776 ext. 319 | C. 613.818.7313<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1677520392/nynxwepirxbrcyy4ugtr.png" style="width:277px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto 5px 0px;text-align:left;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" />
