Nationwide
Big Buddy matches boys without dads in their lives with caring male mentors who make a lasting difference.
At Big Buddy, we match boys between the ages of 7 and 17 without dads in their lives with Big Buddies, who volunteer their time. The Big Buddy relationship offers friendship, support and a good male role model to look up to. These are good men who show up, spend time, and make a difference.
Your support will help identify the boys that are in need, find good-hearted men, screen for safety and reliablity and support a Big and Little Buddy match that will change a young boy's life for good.
Currently we work in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Wellington. We would like to help more boys around NZ soon!
We appreciate your support of our Big Buddy programmes - With approximately 120 boys on our waitlist across our regions every fundraiser goes a long way to helping match a boy who is currently waiting.
**We also welcome Payroll Giving through Givealitte. Regular donations help us plan ahead and make a lasting difference**
More about us
We find these boys a male mentor, fostering a long-term relationship, kinda like an uncle. It’s simply a good man turning up into a boy’s life, taking an interest in who he is, modeling positive maleness. The boy’s self-worth will develop; he will do better at school, be less inclined to commit crime. Statistics on mentoring are compelling.
