At Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawai'i, we build and support one-to-one mentoring relationships to ignite the biggest possible futures for Hawaii’s keiki. In 2021, our organization responded to over 420 inquiries, conducted more than 310 interviews, and matched 208 at-risk youth in one-to-one friendships with mentors. On top of that, our staff supported these youth, parental guardians, and mentors with more than 2,400 meetings via phone, email, text, and in-person. We provided ideas for acitvities, counseling when troubles arose, coaching for mentors, training for parents, and we connected families to food, personal hygene products, and a host of other social services. Our staff went above and beyond for those who have been dispraportionally affected by the ongoing fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each year we create and support more than 1,500 life-changing friendships for youth and volunteers through one-to-one mentoring programs. Our goal? To create a brighter future for keiki on Kaua'i, Maui, and O'ahu, one friendship at a time. Today's youth face a variety of challenges, and being matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister can help them navigate life's obstacles and reach their fullest potential. Whether you are interested in becoming a Mentor, enrolling a Youth, or just want to learn more about mentoring, we invite you to check out our programs below.
