Are you aged 18 or over?
Do you live in North Canterbury?
Do have one hour free in your weekly schedule?
If you answered 'YES!' to all of the above and want make a positive impact on a young person's life, YOU are invited to apply for the role of volunteer mentor!
As a mentor, you will be professionally matched with a vulnerable child in your direct community and for one hour, once a week you’ll spend time together sharing hobbies and interests. The rangatahi (young people) in our programme are aged between 6 and 11 and are not high needs, but are children who need a bit of extra support and attention due to circumstances beyond their control.
Activities you and your mentee might take part in may include; walking the dog, going for a hot chocolate, shooting some basketball hoops, baking or getting crafty... it's all about doing things you both enjoy and just spending time together, one-on-one.
Throughout your time matched (a minimum of one year), our Mentoring Coordinators will be there to support and guide you along the way, with resources and activities (i.e. board games, craft materials) available if needed. You will also be invited to regular 'Match Events' where you can connect with other volunteers and rangatahi in the programme.
The process of becoming a mentor includes an informal information session at our Rangiora office, followed by an application form, police check, formal interview and training session. On average, it can take about 6 to 8 weeks to complete the training process.
Make a difference in your community and apply to join the Big Brothers Big Sisters team today!

Hi there. I have an ongoing severe medical condition that is very debilitating. One of the things that helps a lot is massage (usually with a massage gun which I have). Whilst I do book proper massages from practitioners, these are often too much for me or hard to fit in around my other medical treatments (a part of my daily existence). I find it more helpful to just have short 15 minute back rubs or massage gun when it is needed. Sometimes this can be at short notice but usually there are three key times:
early mornings if I have woken too early and not feeling well
around 1.30-2.15pm, often this is as a preventative measure and enables me the rest that I need but that my body won't always give me
sometimes around 5.30/6pm
I will often know the day before or earlier in the day if there is a likely need as a preventative measure or after certain treatments- in these instances I can message to give a 'heads up' then text to confirm on the day whether it is needed or not.
I am hoping to have a few people who are willing to do this so that I don't always have to rely on the same people, including my Mum who has a very heavy full time work load and volunteer load. You wouldn't be obliged to help every time I asked! It might be once or twice a month you could help for example.
Often I can't talk or listen to others talk because anything involving neurological stimulus - noise, speech, interaction - is often difficult for me. Consequently I spend a lot of time alone. I do value company though and sometimes when my illness and pain is really bad, I just need someone there for support. If I am able to talk, I'd love to get to know you too.
I live on Cameron St. in Ashburton. You can read more about my health situation on my profile.
Thank you so much!:-)
