Rebecca Saban, for Big Brothers

Speaker, Rebecca Saban, Vancouver marketing & communications co-coordinator for Big Brothers, was introduced by Barbara. Topic: Big Brothers "In-school Mentoring Program" - This only requires the dedication of 1 hour per week compared to the usual 2-4 hours per week of the regular program. In-school mentors are interviewed & matched with boys or girls with similar interests. They meet with their "little brother or sister" at the school & spend Quality Time doing various activities. On getting involved, a mentor is provided training & a kit of activity ideas. Ongoing support is readily available. Results show that the children's self-esteem improves by 60%, their grades go up & their attitudes to school improve. As a result, they experience greatly improved relations with adults & other children. Big Brothers need our help - there are 100 children in the lower mainland waiting for In-school Mentor!
