For the second year in a row, Costco in Brampton donated 350 backpacks full of school supplies to local schools this fall to help students get a head start in September. As well, the Mississauga store donated over 300 backpacks to Oakridge Public School this past June. We all have a stake in student success. While a number of identified students are matched, there are many more that are waiting for mentors. Big Brothers of Peel needs additional volunteers to be part of the program.
Mentors meet one hour each week during the school day at the child's school.
Big Brothers screens and arranges matches between students and mentors based on mutual interests.
