What is Brovember?

"Brovember" - commonly associated with the "Movemeber" campaign to promote men's health and wellness each November - is a month-long opportunity to focus on the benefits of mentorship and the need for men to become Big Brothers. The Brovember Campaign is simple: step up to become a Big Brother for a local youth, and encourage other men in your life to do the same.

 

Why focus on men and boys?

Of the 168 children and youth who are currently waiting for a mentor, 60% are boys. They tend to wait longer than girls to be matched with a mentor because there aren't enough men volunteering as Big Brothers. You can help us change this by becoming a Big Brother yourself, and by promoting our mentoring opportunities to the men in your life and stressing the importance of mentorship for boys.
