A single spark can ignite potential, create change, and light a brighter future.
September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month and the launch of our new Spark Campaign. We know that it only takes a spark to ignite potential, create a life-changing mentoring relationship, and light a brighter future for young people in Oxford County.
Our Spark Campaign encourages folks to raise awareness on the impact mentorship has on youth, while celebrating the success and power of mentorship.
BBBS Oxford is inviting you to Be The Spark and help shine the light by joining the Spark Campaign.
SPARK A MATCH
Donate in honour of a mentor who believed and guided you, who was the spark in your life!
When you donate to BBBS Oxford, your funds stay in Oxford County directly supporting the free mentoring programs available to young people.
Offering free mentoring programs assists in keeping our services barrier free while aligning with our vision that “All young people realize their full potential.”
SPARK CHANGE
Apply to become a mentor with BBBS Oxford and be the spark that ignites potential.
Do you know someone who has been thinking about mentoring, or someone you feel would be a great mentor with BBBS?
Encourage them to make this the month they take the next steps and share our Volunteer Online Application with them today!
SHARE YOUR SPARK
Share your story of how a mentor sparked potential and lit a brighter future for you.

SPARK A MENTOR
Share your mentoring experience and help us match even more young people in Oxford County. Tell others about your experience as a mentor and advocate to spark something powerful in your friends, family, neighbourhood and community! Share your Mentor Sparks – a moment from your match that stands out; a moment that you feel sparked something bigger. It could be a quote, a memory, or something your mentee said or did that reminded you why mentoring matters – sparking potential.
