Community-based Mentoring

The Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program offers youth aged 6 to 21 the opportunity to have a friend who serves as a guide, with whom they can talk and share their life experiences. Through regular outings, a close relationship develops between mentor and mentee. It is a relationship based on trust and shared interests.

Throughout the relationship, both mentor and mentee are supported by experienced Mentoring Coordinators. This experience allows for an inspiring and decisive mentoring relationship that reveals the full potential of young people and equips them for the future.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program usually requires two regularly scheduled outings a month of 3 to 4 hours each, and a minimum of a one-year commitment.
