Partnership with Boys & Girls Club

Boys and Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters (BGCBigs) is a community- supported organization committed to the healthy development of children, youth, and their families by providing safe places, positive relationships, services, and opportunities to develop personal strengths and interpersonal skills that enhance their long-term success in life.

BGCBigs Mentoring and After-School programs seek to support vulnerable children and youth challenged by the impacts of poverty. The organization also works in partnership with other community organizations to develop and deliver programs geared to specific populations, such as the immigrant and refugee community, the Indigenous community, and other vulnerable groups (e.g. LGBTQ youth).

In 2019, The BGCBigs partnered up with Edmonton 5 Pin Bowlers' Association and former member Brittney Hislop to create a three week "Learn to Bowl Program" that includes a Club Championship.

The Learn to Bowl Program was established to create awareness and excitement of what is truly a Canadian Sport and the 4th Greatest Canadian Invention of all Time.

The Program teaches them the basics of bowling. From where to stand, what foot to throw off, to the proper throwing technique and to finally how to score the game properly.

At the end of the Program, all the Clubs meet, where there is tournament finale to find out who wins the title as the best club for that season!

BGCBigs currently serves over 4,800+ children and youth with the support of 2,600+ volunteers and 125+ staff.
