Big Brothers Big Sisters Auckland

WITH OVER 100 CHILDREN ON OUR WAITLIST, WE URGENTLY NEED DONATIONS TO HIRE ANOTHER MENTOR COODRINATOR.

We are a transformative mentoring organization dedicated to creating positive relationships for vulnerable Auckland children. We match 6 to 12 year-olds with a stable and caring adult who will ignite their potential and create positive and lasting change in their lives. One Hour. Once a Week. One Life.

We believe that every child deserves a fair chance at a good life, and to reach their full potential. Our focus primarily revolves around tamariki who are facing adversity, displaying problematic or anti-social behaviour, and belonging to families with recognised risk factors. By providing our vulnerable rangatahi with opportunities they wouldn’t have otherwise, and with a stable adult who cares about their needs, our program inspires hope and a new view of the world, that our young people believe anything is possible.

With over 100 children on our waitlist, we are committed to increasing our capability and addressing the need for mentors. As a small team, we urgently need donations to hire another Mentor Coordinator, like our dedicated Leonie, who is currently at full capacity managing our existing matches. The critical time spent to coordinate each match comes at a cost, and with each donation, we can uplift and support a child’s life with mentoring.
