The Between Generations program at Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area might be just what you're looking for.
Through this 1:1 in-school mentoring program, you'll be matched with a child in Grades 1 to 8 and meet with them at their school for one hour a week. Together, you'll choose activities based on your shared interests - whether it's playing a board game, doing a craft, or simply spending time together.

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.
