Lynda is part of the Wellington Big Brothers Big Sisters team work together to ensure our Mentors and Mentees feel supported and enjoy their mentoring journey.

We offer a variety of programmes:

Community-based Mentoring is the traditional Big Brothers Big Sisters relationship. It happens after school or on the weekend. It’s all about the volunteer and young person spending one-on-one time together doing things they both enjoy - a few hours, a couple of times a month.

School-Based Mentoring - Mentors go to the school once a week and take the young person out of class for an hour. Typically, it is the same time each week. Most schools prefer it to be either late morning or in the afternoon so that the young person doesn't miss core subjects which are done first thing in the morning.

School-Based Teen Mentoring - College age students (year 11-13) mentor a young person at a local primary school for one hour each week. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a resource box that the mentor and young person can use, full of activities and ideas.

We pride ourselves in our experience in making great matches that are long lasting and that significantly impact young lives
