“Every time we pair our kids with our mentors, we start something incredible, and it’s life-changing relationships built on friendship, trust and empowerment,” the organization said.

Cordeiro is the founder of Jacfit, a six-week workout program she developed during the lockdown of the Covid-19-19 pandemic. The organization said she is a fitness model, writer, lifestyle coach and registered nurse and participates in fitness competitions.

In 2024, Windsor-Essex’s Big Brothers Big Sisters supports over 300 children through Go Girls Game.
