Description
The 2022 Walk For Kids’ Sake is a way for participants to get out of the house, to run, walk, or otherwise ‘move’ for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orillia & District.Funds raised through this event will directly support mentoring programs for vulnerable young people in our local communities.The purpose of the event is to raise funds in which 100% of the proceeds go to supporting youth in our community through our community and school-based mentoring programs.Established in November 1966, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orillia & District enables positive mentoring relationships within Orillia and the surrounding communities. For more than 50 years, these free direct services have been offered to the City of Orillia, Townships of Ramara, Severn, and Oro-Medonte, and to the Chippewas of Rama First Nations community. BBBSOD is recognized as a leader in children and youth programming.The guiding vision of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orillia & District (BBBSOD) is for all young people to realize their full potential. It is our mission to enable life-changing relationships that help mitigate the societal barriers and adversities that children and youth face. We facilitate these positive mentoring relationships by providing free direct service to youth and families who are seeking a mentor.BBBSOD offers both community and school-based programs. Community-based programs include one-on-one mentoring, as well as group programs offered to mentees on our waitlist. Through an MOU with our local school board, our volunteers provide one-on-one mentoring and facilitate group programs, Game On and Go Girls which encourage healthy living skills.
