Virtual Go Girls! Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel York

 

Hello there!

 

My name’s Andrew Hunter and I’m a Caseworker at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel York. I wanted to share with your school’s staff two no-cost group mentoring opportunities for girls across Peel Region and York Region. These programs are facilitated via Zoom on weekday evenings.

 

Go Girls! is a free group mentoring program designed to connect and empower female-identified youth. Facilitated by trained female volunteer mentors aged 18+, participants are provided with the opportunity to engage in fun and interactive discussions and activities from the comfort of their home. The program promotes physical activity, balanced eating, self-confidence and stress management. It is delivered once a week during the evening for 6-7 weeks.

 

Full program dates and times are listed below:
