The Power of Change
Change, it’s something we all will experience in our lives, and welcomed or not it can leave a lasting impact.
Here at Big Brothers Big Sisters of North and West Niagara, we see change on a daily basis. In our 85 years of serving the community, we have supported countless families, hosted innovative events and are proud to offer inclusive programs. We celebrate the changes that lead to positive outcomes and are a support outlet for our families, staff and supporters who need it when times are tough.
Through the good and the bad, like it or not, change is what shapes us and how we deal with it speaks volumes. We support families who are going through big changes and children who are dealing with adversities that can be challenging, which is why our programs are essential. When you have a mentor in your life you are able to talk about change and the big feelings that come with it and take action.
We are fortunate enough to see first-hand how our Bigs are making a life-changing impact on our Littles, and hear from our families how our programs and support are what they needed most. We also hear about the difficulties our youth are dealing with and are extremely proud of how our Bigs are supporting them when life throws a curveball.
Behind the scenes, we are also facing changes post-pandemic and with prices on the rise, we are looking for new and innovative ideas to fundraise and for our events to continue to support our matches and take children off our waitlists.
If nothing changed, if the world stopped spinning and humanity never looked at innovation or inclusivity, where would we be? Welcome change and keep an open mind in all that you do, you never know what the person next to you is dealing with or what tomorrow may bring.
