A single spark can ignite potential, create change, and light a brighter future.
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.

Double Your Impact Thanks to Carmeuse!
Every gift from December 1-7 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000.
“At Carmeuse, we care about people, and we are deeply committed to contributing to a better world – which is why we are very happy to announce our partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of oxford County in support of their Holiday Giving Campaign this year! With many of our employees working and living in the County, it is so exciting to partner with an organization that makes a big difference locally. We truly believe in the power of this care initiative to create lasting, positive change for so many families in Oxford County, and we really hope to encourage other businesses and individuals to explore how they can spread some holiday cheer to our neighbours in need this season. We look forward to seeing the incredible impact of this campaign, and to put some smiles on the faces of people within the beautiful community we all share. Happy Holidays, everyone!”
