Children and families are the the heart and soul of what we do.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of West Island is committed to providing mentorship to local youth in the West Island of Montréal. The area is mostly English-speaking and more suburban compared to central Montréal, which means that access to youth services can often be more limited.

Many families live farther from city-based resources, and transportation barriers can make it harder for young people to connect with supportive programs. That’s why dedicated, local mentorship programs like us are essential- to ensure every young person in the West Island has someone to turn to, close to home.

Here’s the impact your donation makes:

  • More than 32,000 children across Canada benefit each year from Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring relationships.

  • Youth with a mentor are 60% more likely to feel consistently happy, 45% more likely to feel confident, and 50% more likely to have strong social connections.

  • For every $1 invested in mentoring, society gains an estimated $18–$23 in social and economic benefits- from improved education and employment to better mental health outcomes.

  • Yet, there are still 100+ mentee waiting to be matched with a mentor across right here in the West Island.

Your donation directly helps recruit, train, and support local mentors who make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

Why Corporate Donations Matter?

Corporate partnerships create powerful, long-term change. Beyond funding, companies help us grow by engaging employees as mentors, hosting events, and raising awareness in the community. A single corporate contribution can help us match dozens of waiting youth, expand outreach, and keep our programs strong and sustainable.

Together, we can ensure that every young person in the West Island has the support they need to reach their full potential.
