Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg

They have free day camo in the summer and my child has gone the last 3 years. The staff are amazing. The location is spacious and chalk full of activities galore for the kids. They go in field trips to amazing places I couldn't afford otherwise. I can't say enough about this organization and the people who work there. My child loves going and always wants to return. An amazing place!!!! I have no doubt the other programs are just as amazing. Definitely check them out for mentorship and fun. Can't say enough.

They are doing a great thing by moving their location to the West End and helping all the people in that immediate area.

Excellent kids summer campGreat staff

Love seeing places like this in the city (though could use a little more atmosphere as far as those big plain walls go) lol

Amazing program

Very caring staff welcoming place the bigs are doing wonderful things for the youth

New building is amazing!

Disgusted with this organization. Non inclusive and discriminatory. Rather than support a strong choice made by a child in need they turned her away and added to her problems. I am embarrassed for a once supportive organization. Government $ over ethical policy I guess.

I just had a pick up..literally just now...i had GLASS" written on BOTH bags and I just saw the driver come and take the bags and THROW them on the truck...WTH

Being a big sister has been one of the best decisions I've made. The case workers are great when matching you for a mentee, as I feel like we get along so well. At first, I wasn't too sure what to expect but you get a huge sense of fulfillment and joy once your mentee starts opening up. Note the time commitment if you become a mentor, as it is once a week for the first year, but they are forgiving if you miss a few because life. There is also the option of being a buddy, and there's certainly less of a time commitment there. As for the building itself, it's beautiful. Lots of places to have a meeting, but more importantly a huge space to hang out with your mentee with a kitchen and a large tv.
