A Little About Me
Hello, I’m Jasmine!
My background is in social work, with a major in addictions. My professional experience has shaped my passion for helping others and building meaningful connections.
Before becoming Executive Director, I served as Program Coordinator with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Grande Prairie & Area, where I saw firsthand the impact mentorship can have on young people.
Today, I’m passionate about growing opportunities for local youth, strengthening community partnerships, and supporting the incredible people who make our mission possible.
I believe every child deserves someone in their corner.

A Little About Me
Hello, I’m Jaydin!
With a background as an Educational Assistant (EA) and specialized training in trauma-informed care, I have a passion for supporting children with diverse needs, especially those navigating behavioural challenges, trauma, and difficult life experiences.
My experience includes working with children who require additional support, as well as visiting schools as a public educator to raise awareness about different forms of abuse, prevention, and personal safety.
As BIG Horizons Program Facilitator, I bring my experience, patience, and understanding into creating a safe, welcoming environment where every child feels supported, included, and encouraged to be themselves.
I believe every behaviour tells a story, and every child deserves someone willing to listen, understand, and help them succeed.
Contact Jaydin for:
BIG Horizons daily programming, attendance and scheduling, parent communication, drop-off and pick-up arrangements, child behaviour and support needs, PD days and school breaks, activities, field trips, and general after-school program inquiries.
Our team is made up of caring, qualified individuals who are passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging space for children and youth. Every team member is trained, screened, and committed to helping young people build confidence, friendships, and life skills.
