Big Brother Big Sister mentoring programme
Big Brother Big Sister is a mentoring programme which matches an adult volunteer to a young person aged 10 – 18 years. The main focus of the match is on the development of friendship between a volunteer and a young person. The volunteer becomes a mentor, a role model but perhaps most of all, a friend.
The volunteers involved in the programme are those from the community who are willing to give 2-3 hours each week to spend time with a young person. They are carefully screened and receive initial training and ongoing support throughout the whole process.
