building futures through friendships
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rotorua is a charitable organisation committed to building healthy futures for Rotorua’s tamariki (young people) through mentoring friendships.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters programme arrived in Rotorua in October 2014, especially designed to support the diversity of Rotorua’s
community.
The programme matches children aged 7 to 12 with adult mentors in a professionally and culturally supported one-to-one relationship.
Over the course of a year, they meet once a week building trust and friendship. All the time, creating building blocks for a brighter future for that young person.
