Big Brothers Big Sisters is a preventative program which provides young people aged 7 to 25 years with a caring adult mentor in their lives, someone to confide in and look up to.
The Young Adults Mentoring Program, which includes the Kids Under Cover Mentoring Program, targets young people who need additional support as they embark on further education and employment opportunities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters has joined the global village with its program engaging newly arrived young people from a Burmese refugee background. Now you can join in too........
The Young Achievers Mentoring Program matches mentors in a one-to-one friendship with year 10, 11 and 12 students who are high achievers, show leadership qualities or exhibit talents in such areas as the arts, music or sports.
For the first time ever, Big Brothers Big Sisters has located one of its mentoring staff at a police station in the rural township of Wangaratta in Victoria’s north-east. This partnership with Victoria Police ensures that young people have the best opportunity to access mentoring services in a timely manner.
Funded initially through the Helen MacPherson Smith Trust in 2005, YMCA Victoria and Big Brothers Big Sisters established mentoring services based at Narre Warren in the City of Casey.
Sponsored by the Department of Family & Community Services, Big Brothers Big Sisters is contracted to provide new matches between young people aged 12-20 years and adult mentors.
