One to One Mentoring
Big Brothers Mentoring
The Big Brothers mentoring program provides boys and young men with a role model to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with. Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests, and is supported by our experienced case-workers. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.
The Big Brothers mentoring program usually requires two regularly scheduled outings a month of a few hours each and a minimum of a one year commitment.

In-School Mentoring / Site-Based Mentoring
In-School Mentoring program requires a weekly visit of one hour for the duration of the school year. This program is non academic focused but instead offers a mentee a role model and a friend to talk to while doing fun activities such as crafts, playing sports, baking and more! Matches do not meet over the summer break or during other school holidays.
Site-Based mentoring program provides youth with a mentor to talk to and share the experiences of growing up. Meetings take place within The B-Hive. For one hour a week, mentors meet with their mentee and engage in activities such as board games, crafts or just hang out on here on site.
