Our Mission
At Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawke’s Bay, our mission is simple yet powerful: to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the potential in young people.  We aim to help every child realise their full potential by fostering life-changing connections between mentors and taiohi (youth).

Our mentors show up for children, empowering them to build hope, create possibilities, and fulfill their dreams. We are committed to creating a future where every young person is supported, guided, and given the tools to succeed.

Why Support Us?
When you partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hawke’s Bay, you help us serve more young people in need of guidance and support. Your sponsorship enables us to:

• Onboard new mentors and young people, make new matches, and provide ongoing supervision for these relationships.

• Organise fun, meaningful events and activities that strengthen the bonds between mentors and taiohi.

• Support the recruitment, training, and development of volunteer mentors.

• Provide essential resources for mentors and families, empowering youth to reach their full potential.

• Invest in the future of young people, fostering resilience, and building stronger, safer, and more connected communities.

We need your support to increase the number of mentoring matches and continue igniting youth potential across Hawke’s Bay.
