Big Sisters and Big Brothers were agencies in Ottawa that provided adult friends and mentors to girls and boys in need in order to enable them to achieve their full potential as young men and women. Studies have shown that mentoring is the most effective way of helping a youngster deal positively with the challenges of growing up. For almost 30 years, these two agencies operated side by side in the Greater Ottawa Area. Now, we are one organization, with an aim to improve service delivery, expand the number of children we serve and present a more coherent fact to clients, funders and the general public alike. 1, record 1, English, - Big%20Brothers%20Big%20Sisters%20Ottawa

À l'origine, les Grandes Sœurs et les Grands Frères étaient deux agences distinctes à Ottawa. Leur mission était de fournir des amis et des mentors adultes aux filles et aux garçons qui en ont besoin afin de leur permettre de réaliser leur plein potentiel en tant que jeunes hommes et femmes. Les résultats de diverses études révèlent que le mentorat constitue le moyen le plus efficace d'aider une jeune personne à faire face aux défis des étapes de la croissance de façon positive. Depuis près de 30 ans ces deux agences ont assuré leurs services côte à côte dans l'Ottawa métropolitain. Maintenant devenue une seule agence fusionnée, nous tenons à respecter trois principaux objectifs, à savoir améliorer la prestation de services, offrir nos services à davantage d'enfants et faire profiter les clients, les agences de financement et le grand public d'un système davantage cohérent. 1, record 1, French, - Grands%20Fr%C3%A8res%20Grandes%20S%26oelig%3Burs%20d%27Ottawa
