The origins of Big SistersYouthLink began in 1914, with the formation of the Big Sister Association of Metropolitan Toronto. The Big Sister Association began as a befriending service for teenage girls involved in the court system and who had no family support or guidance. The Association assumed the responsibility for the well-being of these young women, teaching them life skills and providing them with practical aid such as food, clothing, employment and education
