How is it fair that some kiwi kids miss out, simply because of what life throws at them?

By changing the course of young lives we can change the course of our community's future. Big Brothers Big Sisters is passionate about our region's tamariki and believe every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

When we match young people with adult mentors we start something special: a one-to-one relationship built on trust and friendship that can blossom and create building blocks for a brighter future. The difference you can make with one hour, once a week for one year can impact a lifetime. Mentoring is simply, coming alongside and being a wise and trusted friend. 



And the best way to build a relationship is just by having fun together! It's about one young person having one more positive adult in their life.  We're looking for more everyday people to be mentors".
