Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria - GO GIRLS - Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds

Are you a woman aged 19-25 living in Victoria? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of girls in your community? Answer yes to both and you're on your way to becoming a mentor in our "Go Girls!" Program!

Go Girls! Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds is a group mentoring program that encourages physical activity, healthy eating and the development of a positive self-image among girls aged 9 to 13. This program is currently being run in one Victoria Elementary School with Grade 5 girls and two Victoria Middle Schools with Grade 6-8 girls.

Our Go Girls! mentors are young women who are enthusiastic, caring and passionate about healthy living and physical activity. Once they have completed the training, Go Girls! mentors co-facilitate a group of 8-10 girls through weekly activities and discussions at the girls' school. Depending on the school, the program runs for 10 weeks to an entire school year.

Many of our volunteers say they get as much out of this experience as they give. So believe us when we tell you: it's the fun, flexible way to make a BIG difference!

To apply, contact our Program Assistant at

Please note that the deadline for applications is July 31, 2011.
