Our mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
Follow our page to stay up to date on the latest Big Brothers Big Sisters news. We'll also include regular updates and links that will help to demonstrate the true value of mentoring and the positive impact that it can have on the life of a child or young person.
We accomplish our mission by partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community, and we hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving:
- Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships;
- Avoidance of risky behaviors; and
- Educational success.
At The Smith Family, we believe that education is one of the world’s most powerful change agents. That’s why we focus on helping young Australians to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty.
As a national, independent charity, every day we work with thousands of children and their families to help them unlock better futures for themselves.
Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We are working hand in hand with our supporters to create a world in which every child has a healthy, happy and safe childhood. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn and has a voice to speak for themselves.
OUR VISION is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.
OUR PURPOSE is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
Save the Children manages and implements programs designed to save and improve the lives of the world's most disadvantaged and vulnerable children. We have programs running all across Australia and have offices and staff in each State and Territory. Globally, we also work in over 120 countries. Each year Save the Children touches the lives of over 80 million children.
