Giving Back = A Brighter Future for Today’s Youth
Tuesday, December 3rd is Giving Tuesday—a global day to give back and create change. Across Canada and around the world, people like you will be stepping up to make a difference.
Here in the Fraser Valley, the need is urgent: 40 children are on our waitlist, and some have been waiting 2 years for a mentor.
These children need someone to ignite their potential, inspire their growth, and empower their futures.
Did you know?
It costs approximately $2,800 to support one match, covering the screening, training, mentoring, and ongoing monitoring needed to ensure a safe and impactful relationship for both mentor and mentee.
Mentorship = Hope and Opportunity
- Mentorship builds connections that foster growth, resilience, and self-assurance.
- Mentorship changes lives, both for youth and the communities they uplift.
This GivingTuesday, you can take action. Your donation directly supports mentorship programs that provide trust, care, and the tools for young people to thrive.
- In 2023, the majority of our mentees reported their mentors inspired growth, expanded possibilities, and offered unwavering support.
- Every $1 invested in our programs generates $18-$23 in social returns through higher incomes, volunteerism, and giving back.
Why wait? You can make an impact today by giving early and helping us reach our GivingTuesday goal.
These 40 kids can’t wait any longer.
Together, we can show how Giving Back = a brighter, stronger community.
