Testimonials
“Ashley has a lot of energy and it takes a lot of energy to keep up with her and sometimes that’s hard when I’m juggling three jobs. Since her Big Sister Lorena came along she’s calmer and she’s allowed me to get closer to her. Our relationship’s gotten much stronger.”
Michelle – Parent
“Steven took to Craig & Linda (Big Couple) right away… which is unusual for him. Steven has never had a man in his life. Craig and he share a lot of interests and since they’ve been matched Steven is trying new things with them. Steven’s self confidence has grown too. What might seem like a small benefit to most but is a huge benefit for me is seeing the happy faces my kids have after being out with their Bigs.”
Bev – Parent
“When I received you as a Big Sister I realized how lucky I was but I never told you. You helped me through the worst days of my life and shared the good days with me. You are my best friend and that will never leave my heart.

Luke – Little Brother matched to a Big Couple
“Seeing each group of girls progress together respect one another, and be excited every week to join in on the Go Girls workshop makes it just as exciting for me to lead them. The girls really appreciate the time out of the classroom to be themselves in a fun and confidential environment. As a volunteer, I know the girls enjoy this time and the BBBS Stratford office workers make it easy and enjoyable for all involved.”
Monica – Go Girls! Leader
