Big Brothers Big Sisters (Tumut Program)

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.
