In December of 2002, Big Brothers and Big Sisters amalgamated to form Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kitchener-Waterloo & Area. Both agencies have been in the community for over 30 years each, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of mentoring children and youth.

By combining resources, we are in a stronger position to serve the needs of children and youth in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kitchener-Waterloo & Area is a registered charity and a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. Our national and provincial organizations came together to form Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada in 2001.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kitchener-Waterloo and Area is a member agency of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada (BBBSC), the leading child and youth serving organization which has provided mentoring programs across the country for over 80 years.  As a national organization it provides services and programs to 190 member agencies serving more than 300 communities across Canada, assisting the agencies with their hands-on work with parents, children, and volunteers.  Ranging from staff training workshops to our leading Child Safety Program, which includes an emphasis on sexual abuse prevention, BBBSC works diligently to ensure program quality is superior in all parts of the country. 

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kitchener-Waterloo and Area remains accountable to the families and communities we serve through our Board of Directors' governance, and through our reporting requirements, agency reviews, and the operating standards set by BBBSC.
