Executive Director & Board Chair Message Every day someone’s life is changed because of the work of BBBS. Those of us on the staff and board are inspired as we witness young people in Calgary as well as the communities of Airdrie, Rocky View County, Cochrane and High River discover their potential with the support of their Big Brothers and Big Sisters. The 108,096 hours of mentorship provided by our volunteers this year means that our impact far exceeds the limited resources of our day-to-day operations. It is this generous commitment of our volunteers, donors and supporters that allows us to plan for growth and to see the real and lasting difference we make in the lives of young people and their families. Every child has unexplored strengths, the capacity for joy and the possibility of making positive contributions to our future. Children are, simply, our most precious resource. Yet all too often that potential is wasted through the simple lack of adult interaction and guidance. That is the fundamental belief that drives the commitment and support we receive from the community and our BBBS family. With a Big Brother or Big Sister, a young person can explore possibilities, wonder, What if?, see new worlds of creativity and set goals that once seemed impossible. To be a Little Brother or Little Sister is to be a child poised on the brink of new understanding, of excitement and of confidence in the future. “Sometimes we play games, make origami, cook and bake. Alex has taught me how important it is to give people your time and attention” -Little Brother Scott 2 l BBBS
