We are excited to let you know that Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria is gearing up for another session of Go Girls Online! Go Girls is a FREE 10-week program designed for female-identifying youth between the ages of 11-15. The group meets weekly for 1 hour and 15 minutes on an online platform. Groups consist of up to 12 participants and 3 mentors. BBBS Mentors are fully screened (Vulnerable Sector Check and thorough Reference checks included), trained, and supported by their agency staff. The focus of the online program is to keep youth connected with each other and their community during a time of social distancing. Matches focus on building group connection by playing games, crafting, journaling and talking/discussions. This program is run by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria and Area; an organization with 43 years experience of mentoring and creating a positive impact in the lives of children and youth. Please see the attached flyer for more program details.

 

BBBS is hoping to get groups started at the end of September, or by the first week of October at the latest. The program coordinator will be in contact with those who register in the coming weeks with more information about what to expect for the Fall sessions.
