This National Volunteer Week, we celebrate the incredible people who make our mentoring programme possible.
Every year, our volunteer mentors, Board Members and volunteer team members give their time, care and expertise to support tamariki and rangatahi across our community.
At Big Brothers Big Sisters Wellington, we support around 130 mentoring matches each year. That's 130 amazing mentors showing up consistently with kindness, encouragement and a belief in the potential of the young people they mentor. Alongside them, our six dedicated Board Members generously share their skills and leadership to help strengthen our kaupapa. Our team member, Julie donates her time every week to help support BBBS for fundraising and marketing.
This year's National Volunteer Week theme, Your Year to Volunteer – Tōu tau ki te tūao, celebrates the diversity of volunteers, the collective strength of mahi aroha, and the power of people coming together to create positive change.
Volunteering builds stronger, more connected communities. It creates belonging, resilience and hope.
To our Bigs, Board Members and volunteers: thank you for the time you give, the wisdom you share, and the difference you make every single day. Your impact is felt far beyond the hour you spend each week.
You are helping ignite youth potential, one relationship at a time. 💜
