OPEN A DOOR TO POTENTIAL IN YORKTON, MELVILLE, LANGENBURG, CHURCHBRIDGE, ESTERHAZY AND BEYOND…
BE THE KEY THEY NEED TO THRIVE
Doors are not designed to stay closed.
As soon as they’re opened, they are no longer a barrier.
They become the pathway to move forward. Open a door to create connection, progress, and possibility.
You create the moment when a youth meets their mentor for the first time and they start to believe that their life can look different.
In Yorkton and Area, many youth we serve: struggle with societal barriers, and face adversities in their lives like detrimental living conditions, family violence, risk factors for mental health, school issues and identity challenges.
We focus on the “whole child” supporting emotional wellbeing, social connection, confidence, and life skills.
The youth who come to us aren’t statistics, they’re young people with stories. They’ve already faced more then many adults ever will.
This campaign invites 42 donors to open door through a $1,500 investment.
The number 42 reflects how long BBBS Yorkton and Area has been providing mentoring programs grounded in Developmental Relationships, supporting youth through one-to-one and group mentoring experiences.
Each door represents a barrier and a pathway to unlock potential. Our goal is to open 42 pathway supports, and this campaign gives us a clear, tangible way to invite our community to step up and make that happen.
They are asking for support. They are ready for mentorship. They are waiting for someone to open the door.
You don’t need to be a multinational company to be a BIG Business in our eyes. Whether you’re a team of 3 or 300, your support opens the way. We’re calling on organizations of all sizes, and individuals too, who are ready to invest in local youth and help open doors of opportunity.
Every contribution is celebrated, Every door you open sends a message to youth: “You Matter and we’re investing in your future”
One door is a $1,500 investment that covers the real cost of making and sustaining a mentoring relationship, from screening to matching to ongoing support. And bigger contributions can change the long-term health of the entire community.
THE INVESTMENT….THE RETURN…
Right now, 42 youth in YORKTON & AREA are ready.
They’ve been interviewed. They’ve shared their stories. They’ve asked for a mentor.
In some cases, a volunteer is already waiting to be matched with them.
What stands in the way isn’t time, or people.
It’s funding – to create the match and support it properly.
We’re calling on 42 local businesses, organizations, and individuals to open one door each.
To say, “We see you. We believe in you. Your future matters.”

What is a Mentor?
When we say “mentor” we don’t mean a perfect role model. We mean a real person, someone who shows up with consistency, curiosity, and care.
A mentor can be:
- The first person who listens without judgment
- The adult who celebrates the small and big accomplishments
- The one who asks “ What do you want your future to look like”
- A link to a new opportunity and bigger dreams.
MENTORSHIP also changes the Adult’s life:
- It changes the mentor.
- It stregthens families
- It builds stronger, more connected communities
THANK YOU FOR OPENING THE DOOR IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
Behind EACH Door is a Brighter Future
When one door opens, it opens for all of us.
The 42 Doors Campaign is more than fundraising. It’s a movement local people standing together to ensure every young person has the chance to walk through a door of opportunity. When neighbours, businesses, and families unite around mentorship, we build a place where every child feels seen, supported, and ready to thrive.
Together, we’re not just opening doors, we’re opening futures.
