About us
For over 50 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa (BBBSO) has been making a positive difference in the lives of children and youth in our Nation’s Capital by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs. BBBSO believes that unlocking a child’s true potential creates a future where anything is possible. What we do today makes a difference tomorrow. Together with our amazing volunteers, we foster, facilitate and support one-to-one and group mentoring relationships with children in need of a role model, mentor and friend.
