Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawai'i

Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawai‘i supports children ages 6-16 years old who have faced adversity in their young lives and experienced the loss of a valuable connection. Our youth-centered program helps children to create goals that mentors can help them achieve. Each child and mentor is connected with one of our staff who provides ongoing coaching for the youth, training for the volunteer, and resources for the family. We partner with the parent/guardian, child and mentor to ensure that the social and emotional needs of youth are being met and that every child has an opportunity to reach their full potential. We are looking for two types of volunteers: Ongoing volunteers (18+ of age and has their own transportation) that can meet a requirement of a year, which would be a Mentor (volunteer) able to meet with a youth a minimum of twice a month with each outing being 2-4 hours long. We are also looking for volunteers that can help with various events we have planned through the year.
