Become a New Horizons Mentor – Make a Meaningful Difference in a Newcomer's Life!
At Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area, we believe in the power of connection. Through our New Horizons program, we match caring adults with newcomer parents who are adjusting to life in Canada. Many of these families have arrived recently and are facing the challenges of starting over without the support of nearby friends or family.
As a New Horizons Mentor, you’ll be paired with a newcomer parent and connect weekly to offer friendship, guidance, and a sense of belonging. Just a simple conversation or shared experience can go a long way in helping someone feel less alone and more at home.
We’re looking for mentors who have lived experience as a parent. If you were once a newcomer to Canada yourself, that’s a bonus but not required. What matters most is your willingness to be a supportive presence in someone’s life.
Be a friend. Be a guide. Be the reason someone feels at home.
Ready to help a newcomer thrive?

About BBBS London and Area:
The trauma from adverse childhood experiences can last a lifetime. Without intervention they will define a lifetime.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area has championed youth health and wellbeing for over 50 years, stepping in before it’s too late so all children can reach their full potential. We do this through our mentoring programs that match children facing adversity (Littles) with a caring adult volunteer (Bigs).
Our Bigs and Littles spend time with each other on a weekly basis doing things they both enjoy. The bond they develop during their weekly visits helps the Littles build self-esteem and make more connections in the community. Most importantly, it inspires them to dream BIG.
