Teen Mentor – Teen Mentorship Program
Suitable for Seniors- Suitable for Youth
Calling all teens! This is a great opportunity for teens to dip their toes into the waters of volunteer work.
Teens are matched to a child from elementary school, where they meet weekly on zoom for 10-15 sessions.
All sessions are supervised and facilitated by an agency caseworker. This is a great way to gain experience, help a child, and fill up those empty white spaces on your resume!
Each high school/elementary school runs one program each school year, so fill out your application ASAP to ensure you’re not too late for your school’s program.
A great way to complete any required volunteer hours for graduation.

Other Opportunities with Big Brothers Big Sisters
Game On! is a group mentoring program for providing boys and young men ages 9 to 14 with information and support to make informed choices about a range of healthy lifestyle practices.
Game On! consists of seven mentoring sessions, held over a 7 weeks period within school facilities.
Each 1-hour long session is coordinated around four themes: physical activity, healthy eating, self-esteem, and communication skills.
Our mentors commit to spending a few hours each week with a child in their community who is in need of extra support. All of our matches are based on compatibility, so “Bigs” and their “Littles” are free to do any mutually enjoyed activity.
Volunteers are provided with ongoing support from Caseworkers for the duration of their match.
Volunteers receive discounts from our community partners to do low-cost activities with their Littles.
We are always available to provide written or verbal reference letters for academic, work-related, or personal purposes.
Thanks for your interest in this volunteer position!
We'll just need a bit of information so we can pass your application along to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
In December 2025, we’ll focus only on event-based opportunities. We’ll respond to other volunteer inquiries or referrals starting in January 2026.
Volunteers can sign up for up to 3 continuing commitment opportunities for immediate referrals. If you signed up for more than 3, a Volunteer Lethbridge staff member will connect with you before making new referrals.
