Big Brothers Big Sisters of Woodstock

Developed for boys ages 11 - 14, Game On! uses a mentor approach to provide boys and young men with information and support to make informed choices about a range of healthy lifestyle practices. Through non-traditional physical activities, complemented with healthy eating support, participants are engaged in life skills, communication, and emotional health discussions designed to engage participants in the pursuit of life-long healthy lifestyles.

Game On! mentors are enthusiastic about healthy, active living and are specially selected and trained to deliver the program. Mentors are responsible for male youth selected from local agencies and community schools who may benefit from the range of activities in the program.
Game On ! includes seven 75-minute core sessions. There are also four extension modules that capture potential issues and topics specific to various locales and the interests of the mentors and program participants. Each session is loosely structured around four themes: physical activity, healthy eating, self-esteem, and communication skills.

If you are interested in mentoring youth into a positive and healthy lifestyle, this program is for you. Contact the office at 519.537.6404 or send an email to inquire bigbrothersbigsisters.ca.
