Mentoring for young people based on the simplicity and power of friendship.


Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia works with disadvantaged young people aged between 7-17, many of whom are experiencing marginalisation or social isolation. Through a long-term one-to-one community mentoring program, Big Brothers Big Sisters equips young people with the tools they need to build resilience and strengthen their emotional wellbeing.

Emma pitched for funding to provide the opportunity to sponsor the screening and training of 6 new mentors within the BBBS Tumut program. This then provides the opportunity to create new life changing matches within the Tumut community.
