Testimonials: In Their Own Words
Every mentoring story begins with a simple connection- but what unfolds can be life-changing. At Big Brothers Big Sisters of the West Island, we’ve seen firsthand how mentorship can help young people gain confidence, resilience, and hope. Whether it’s a Little who discovers their passion through their Big’s encouragement, or a mentor who learns as much from their mentee as they give, these relationships remind us that growth happens together. Each match is a story of trust, laughter, and shared milestones- proof that when someone believes in you, it can change the course of your life.

Daniela, Adriano & Wyatt
Our Little, Wyatt, and his Big Couple, Daniela and Adriano, are thrilled about their new match! Wyatt has a real passion for baking, and his Bigs are eager to share their love of food and culture with him-starting with a delicious Brazilian favorite: cheese bread, or pão de queijo. Together, they’re already discovering how mentorship can be filled with learning, laughter, and lots of tasty memories in the making.
Adam & Luca
Our new match, Big Adam and Little Luca, are already bonding over their shared love of video games and chess. With friendly competition and strategy as their common ground, they’re planning their very own chess tournament. It’s the perfect start to a mentorship built on fun, learning, and mutual respect- one thoughtful move at a time.
