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.

What a stunning view!
Little Sister Jess was lucky enough to be taken on a cool road trip outside of Auckland with a visit to the Mount with her Big Sister Vicky. After a big hike up the mountain, they were treated to this beautiful sight of the beach. How lovely!
Check out Little Sisters Amna and Safia at Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium with their Big Sisters Jodi and Anna.
One of the coolest things we get to do at BBBS Auckland is bring sets of siblings into the programme. Not only do they each get an awesome mentor to hang out with, they also get to go out and do fun things together like Amna and Safia did!
The perfect remedy to a snoozy Tuesday is a delicious sugar fix.
Little Sister Georgie loves going out to brunch with Big Sister Ngaire - and you can see how much she's enjoying that chocolate milkshake!
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 😅
