Making mentoring magic one child at a time
This is the story of Bree-Ann Jubinville, whose life was dramatically changed after she started mentoring an eight-year-old boy. Initially unsure of the direction her social work career should take, Jubinville found her purpose through her four-year mentorship relationship with the young boy. The Elmwood resident was recruited by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg after an acquaintance recommended her as a suitable mentor.
The agency conducted a thorough interview, background checks, and a questionnaire to ensure a good match. Once matched, a pre-introductory session was held to introduce the mentor and mentee to each other's caregivers. The mentorship typically lasted one year, but Jubinville extended her commitment as long as needed.
