MENTORING
Community-based mentoring helps young people to increase their confidence, develop a greater sense of belonging, and aspire to greatness. The majority of the young people who come through the Big Brothers Big Sisters programme are looking for positive adult role models outside of their existing support structures.
A young person aged 6-12 is matched with an adult volunteer based on personality, shared interests, and geographic location. Once a week, for a minimum of a year, the mentor meets with the young person to spend time together – cooking, going to the beach, playing sport – the possibilities are endless.
Community-based mentoring through the Big Brothers Big Sisters model is proven to make a lasting, positive impact in the life of a young person.
We endeavor to provide the framework for positive, enduring friendships that change the lives of the people involved.

Watch out, New Zealand fashion industry - looks like we might have a new designer on our hands!
Big Sister Devon whipped out the sewing machine to teach Little Sister Tyler a brand new skill this school holidays. Together, they made the cutest heart-shaped cushions 😍
Life skills are one of the many important things mentors can pass on to their Littles. Do you know a young girl in your community who would benefit from having a Big Sister?
