Testimonials

“BBBS is a family, connected by a love for a stronger community and a better tomorrow. My Big Brother is a source of guidance as well as a pillar in my growth, development and maturity during my journey into being a man.”

Me and my Big Sister have lots and lots of hangouts and I enjoy it. She makes me so happy. I am proud that I have her as my Big Sister.

“Being a Big Brother to me means being afforded the opportunity for tremendous personal growth through the investment of mentorship into the young people of Bermuda's future.”

“To date, being a Big Sister allows me to be a friend. To bring joy to someone else simply by being available to share interests and ideas. It has provided me with opportunities to encourage my little to build up herself in certain areas.”

“I believe the greatest joy that one can experience in life, comes from serving others. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides that perfect opportunity, not only to be of service to a very grateful child, but to positively impact the life of a child and make a lifelong friend”.

“Big Brother/Big Sister is giving selflessly to your little one, treating them with dignity and respect; to also assist them in becoming the best they can be, to become productive members in the community.”

"Being a Big brother allows me to make all the difference in my Little's growth as a young man. I actually learned a lot about myself and it allows me to grow and develop into a better person also."

“Being a Big Sister is fun and rewarding; not only do you foster a friendship with your Little but you also gain a new family member”

“To me, being a Big Brother means being a positive influence, role model, mentor and support to a young person, understanding that although there may not be a biological connection, the Little has someone they can look up to and rely on as a big brother as they grow. It also means making a commitment to the community we serve through social investment in the next generation.”

“When I became a Big, I hoped that I would have an impact on my Little’s life but never expected her to impact my life the way she has. Being a Big has allowed me to become an origin for fun, a shoulder to lean and cry on through the tough times, a source of confidence and everlasting memories and a welcomed relief of reality sometimes. It’s one of the most rewarding things you can do in your life”.
