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.

Throwback Thursday to when Little Brother Bobbie was feeling a bit down in the dumps...
Nothing that a HUGE churro at the night markets couldn't fix! Oh, and of course, the listening ear of his Big Brother Ben 😅
Here at BBBS Auckland, we take social distancing and safety very seriously! It's our biggest priority to keep both our Mentors and Mentees safe, especially in the face of a global pandemic.
Check out Ben and Bobbie's cool homemade masks made out of Marvel superhero themed fabric!
We couldn't be grateful enough for NZI for taking part in a team building with Corporate Challenge Events, and generously donating us these fun Lego sets for our Matches to enjoy!
Check out the big grins on Callen and Luis' faces, and spot their awesome building skills. It didn't take them long at all to get stuck in!
It's Wednesday again? Time for Waitlist Wednesday!
Little M is looking for a Big Brother who understands his culture and can help him connect with his roots. M lives in Orakei, which means he would be best suited to a Big Brother who lives in Central or East Auckland, within a 15 minute drive.
Do you know any amazing Pasifika men who would be the perfect match for M? Tag them below and share this post!
