SHINE Mentoring Competitors

We’re driven by love to take action for children. Our vision is that every child and young person has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.

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.

Scouts helps over 460,000 young people in the UK develop the skills they need to succeed in life. Internationally, there are over 30 million young people enjoying the benefits of Scouting. We believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing,' when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. We also offer adventure to adults, and there is wide variety of roles and opportunities available to those who want to get involved. Our Chief Scout is Bear Grylls: 'Two things matter in life: following your dreams and looking after your friends. This is what I love about Scouting. It’s about doing great things, loving and enjoying the great adventures and helping others to do the same.'
