About
At Big Brothers Big Sisters in Cochrane our goal is to create and nurture one-to-one mentoring relationships for children and youth within the town who are facing adversity. Each mentoring relationship is monitored and supported by the agency to ensure positive and meaningful relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of the children and youth, their families, the mentors, and generations to follow.
Our mission is to enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people. We achieve this with volunteers in our community. With the support of a caring mentor, young people develop the resilience to overcome adversity so they can reach their full potential. All children benefit from having a positive adult role model in their lives, and the impact of mentor in these early years will last a lifetime.
