Recruitment drive for volunteers

218823_01

Not-for-profit organisation Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia is calling out for volunteers to mentor and support young people aged 10-17 years old in Brimbank.

The organisation is looking for volunteers who live locally, are over 18, and can commit to spending roughly one hour a week with their assigned little brother or sister for 12 months.

Those interested in positively impacting the life of a child are invited to join the online information session about the mentoring program.

The mentorship can be beneficial for young people who may be facing challenges engaging in education, have issues within their household where they do not have a responsible adult or carer providing them with support.

The mentorship can also help young people who are starting to come into contact with police or courts, and can provide an opportunity for the young person to see their potential.

The session will be facilitated by Big Brothers Big Sisters chief executive Mark Watt who will be speaking with some special guests to share their experience being a mentor or mentee. It is an opportunity to learn more about the program, meet some of the team and get answers to frequently asked questions.

The online mentor information session will run on August 22, at 7pm.
