BIG BUDDY / Men in the Auckland area available to be matched.

Little Buddies are aged 7-14, and do not have a father/male role model in their lives.

A Big Buddy mentor turns up each week in a boy’s life (2-3 hours on a weekend), exploring the world together, being available to listen and giving him the experience of an older man who cares, similar to a positive uncle.

Big Buddy is an organisation matching adult male mentors with fatherless boys.  We work with the simple philosophy that boys need good male role models to become good men.

Unfortunately some boys do not have a father or other male role model around.  Big Buddy finds these boys a well screened volunteer male mentor, fostering a long-term relationship similar to that of an uncle.

It’s as simple as a good man turning up regularly in a boy’s life, going out into the world and doing activities together, being available to listen to him, modelling what it means to be a good man. The boy’s sense of self develops, he will do better at school and be less inclined to crime and abuse. The statistics on positive mentoring are clear and compelling.
