Investing in Futures: Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia Raises $100K to Empower Youth Mentoring Across Australia

Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia Ltd is thrilled to announce the successful raising of $100,000 in our latest funding round. This pivotal investment comes at a crucial time, as we continue our mission to address the unique social and emotional needs of young people across Australia. Our organization firmly believes that every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and that often means providing the personalized support that is frequently missing from their lives. With this funding, we will further enhance our long-term, intensive, one-to-one mentoring programs, which have already made a profound impact on the lives of young people aged between 7 and 17, particularly those who feel socially or emotionally isolated. The funds raised will be directed towards expanding our diverse range of high-quality mentoring models, including our Community-Based, In-School, and Online programs. Each program is carefully tailored to meet the varying needs of the individuals we serve, ensuring that every young person is matched with a positive adult role model – a mentor they can trust and rely on for guidance, support, and inspiration. Our volunteer mentors, affectionately known as ‘Bigs’, and their mentees, our ‘Littles’, forge strong, long-term relationships that build a sense of belonging, self-worth, and resilience. This new infusion of capital will help us scale our efforts, reach more communities, and ensure that even more young individuals have the opportunity to build a brighter and more connected future. As a child safe organisation, Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia remains dedicated to creating secure and nurturing environments for the next generation, empowering them to flourish both personally and socially.
