The future of the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program in South Australia has been strengthened through a partnership with the Crows Children’s Foundation.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters program has been matching vulnerable young people aged between 7 – 17 years of age with a positive role model for 40 years.

As one of the Crows Children’s Foundation’s key partners for 2018, Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia will receive much-needed funds to support more vulnerable young people who are currently on a waiting list to be matched – These funds will help enable Big Brothers Big Sisters to double its impact in South Australia.

Each year the Foundation provides a grant of assistance to charities, which help children – providing funding as well as the priceless additional support of promotion and player involvement.

With the Foundation Grant, Big Brothers Big Sisters will be able to continue to mentor more vulnerable young people - fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth; and reduce the likelihood of substance abuse and the possibility of entering the justice system.

By matching kids with mentors, it helps them to stay engaged in school and achieve their dreams to become participative and positive community members.

The Crows will host a number of mentors and kids involved with the program at a home game towards the end of the 2018 season.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is always on the look-out for mentors, in particular male mentors – if you’re interested, please enquire online via www.bigbrothersbigsisters.org.au
