Big Brothers Big Sisters was launched in Gisborne in March 2023, matching up adults (18 and over) with young people (6-12years) who would benefit from an additional supporting, consistent adult role model.
Mentors need to be at least 18 years old and willing to commit to an hour each week for a minimum of 12 months. All our volunteers are screened and trained by our professional staff. You don't need any qualifications you only need to be yourself; it's about showing up, sharing experiences and being someone a young kid can look up to!
-At least 18 years old
-Have access to transportation
-Have one hour free each week to spend with your mentee
-Be willing to commit twelve months to a match
