Big Brothers of Sarnia-Lambton
Big Brothers volunteers share their time and interests with a boy who lacks the one-to-one friendship a Big Brother can provide. In the few hours a week they spent together doing a variety of activities (both on their own and at agency sponsored events), they develop trust, understanding and memories that last a lifetime. A couple Matching Program offers the alternative of a two-to-one friendship for those volunteers and boys whose needs can be better met in this way. While many Little Brothers (ages 6-13) in Sarnia and across Lambton County have the benefit of special volunteer in their lives, many more are still waiting.
