Welcome To Our New Staff!
Hi everyone! My name is Morgan Proulx and I am so excited to be joining the Big Brothers Big Sisters of North and West Niagara team as the new Family Intake and Support Coordinator. I am a recent graduate of the Social Service Worker program at Sheridan College. During my education, I spent 8 months with Big Brothers Big Sisters NWN as a placement student and volunteering as an In- School Mentor. 
 
When not working in the office, I am a dance teacher who thrives in sharing my love and passion for dance with children of all ages. I am very excited to navigate this new position to engage and support children, youth and families through mentoring relationships. I look forward to supporting my community and creating new relationships that will support the growth of children and youth. 
Hello! My name is Hilary Kellam and I am the new Volunteer Enrollment Coordinator at Big Brothers Big Sisters of North and West Niagara.

I have worked in the non-profit sector for over five years now and in each of my roles I supported volunteers extensively. I am very passionate about working with volunteers because they truly are the heart of every organization and I thoroughly enjoy building relationships with these special individuals.

I've wanted to work for Big Brothers Big Sisters for quite some time because I was a Big Sister back in 2015/2016 and it was such a fun and fulfilling experience for both myself and my little sister. I am thrilled to join the North and West Niagara Team and I am ready to greet current and future volunteers with a huge smile and lots of enthusiasm!

Our matches were invited by Harvey and the Golden Horseshoe Outdoors Club to their Annual Fishing Derby on Saturday May 28th, 2022. All of our matches were super excited for a day of fishing and fun. They set out on boats with professional fishing captains, who brought them to the best fishing spots and taught them all about the different types of fish they caught. Harvey put together a wonderful team of volunteers who were a great help with lunch, and ensuring everyone was having fun! After a couple hours out on the water or fishing on the pond, matches were welcomed back with a BBQ lunch, and swag bags provided by Harvey and the Golden Horseshoe Outdoors Club. Everyone who attended could not stop raving about how great the day was, and they were all marking their calendars for next year’s event. Our matches were able mingle and get to know each other, and even begin to form bigger friendships!
