Care (and Other Services) for Children BIG BROTHERS & BIG SISTERS OF WINDSOR-ESSEX COUNTY http://www.bigbrothersbigsisterswe.ca
Description:
The program is designed to run between five to seven months. This
program provides a unique opportunity to provide adult male role models
to children so they may experience positive peer interaction and
establish friendships while in a group setting. The group would
potentially consist of nine boys assigned to 3 Big Brothers. Outings
would occur once every two weeks, for 2-4 hrs in duration with the
support of the staff. The Big Brothers in the group would design and
organize activities, supervise and oversee the function of the group and
interact with the boys to increase their social, physical and emotional
skills.
