Big Sisters of Regina

About Big Sisters

YWCA Regina’s Big Sisters mentoring program provides girls and young women a role model to talk with and share their experiences. Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests and is supported by our experienced caseworkers. The result is life-changing for both the mentor and the mentee.


When we have happy, healthy young people in our communities, everyone benefits. It takes as little as twice a month to help a child gain the confidence to achieve more. To learn more visit:

  • Minimum commitment of one year

  • Weekly Activity
