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.

Little Brother Niko was pretty stoked with his birthday present from Big Brother Elliot - he loves WWE and now he's got his very own championship belt! Niko's mum says that Elliott has been a blessing for Niko and their entire family - her previously quiet son now has so much confidence she says she can't get him to pipe down! A huge achievement for Niko and Elliott - we couldn't be more grateful and proud of the amazing work our Bigs do for their Littles <3
What an awesome birthday cake for Little Brother Bobbie's double digits birthday party tomorrow courtesy of Big Brother Ben and his amazing wife Emma! Bobbie's been obsessed with blue tongued lizards for a while now, and according to Ben he reckons the cake is "lit" (Ben's taking that to mean that he likes it 😂) Happy birthday Bobbie - we hope you have a great day!
A couple of lucky Littles, Callen and Kayle, headed to The Blues game at Eden Park a couple of weeks ago courtesy of their VERY generous Bigs Luis and Robert! Looks like everyone had a great time!
