Be Strong Together’s 4th Anniversary!
Four years ago, Be Strong Together began as a simple idea during a difficult time—an online space where girls could feel supported, uplifted, and connected. Today, that idea has grown into a full-year mentorship program with hundreds of families, a passionate volunteer team, and national recognition as a registered not-for-profit.
As we celebrate our 4th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the many milestones that brought us here: our very first summer session, our transition to a year-round curriculum, the friendships built between mentors and mentees, and the continued support of families who believe in what we do.
We’re deeply grateful to every mentor, family, partner, and supporter who has helped shape this journey. Thank you for being part of this story. Here’s to the next chapter—together.

It’s a huge step forward for our team and a moment of encouragement that reminds us our work matters.
Thank you to the Canada Post Community Foundation for supporting grassroots programs like ours. With your help, we’re growing stronger—together.
