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.

We need your help! Do you have a spare tablet, laptop or computer lying around that you are able to lend for the next few weeks? Many of the kids in our programme don't have access to technology that will allow them to stay in contact with their mentors over the lockdown period. For many of them, this contact is essential, and will become even more important during this period of isolation. If you can help, please comment on this post or email Jess at [email protected] Thank you in advance!
