  • Dear Parent/Guardian:

    Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph (BBBSG) in partnership with the Wellington Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) and the Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB), is pleased to offer a School-Based-Group Mentoring Program.

    Ignite is an exciting group program offered by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph to foster positive peer to peer connections, self-esteem and team work in grade 5-8 students.

    A group of 8-10 children will be paired with two screened and trained volunteer mentors. The program will consist of seven one-hour sessions, held over the lunch hour at your child’s school. Each session will be fun-filled, active, and informative. Running shoes and appropriate physical education attire are recommended. Your child may withdraw from the program at any time.

    Common reasons for referral to the Ignite program include strengthening peer to peer relationships, boosting self-esteem, connecting with older mentors, and participating in fun, educational programming.

    Please indicate on the attached form whether you permit your child to take part in Ignite provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

    Yours truly,

    Katie Fisher
