Big Brother Big Sister – Cork’s Newest Mentoring Scheme Why volunteer with Big Brother Big Sister? It’s great fun, it will cost you nothing, it’s only an hour or two a week and it will make a big difference to a young person. The programme has been running successfully in Ireland since 2001. It gives young people who need a extra support, the chance to meet with an adult volunteer for one or two hours a week and have fun! The young people come from all different backgrounds – they might be struggling at school, have a family member who is ill, shy and introverted, from an area of economic disadvantage but no two young people are the same. Volunteers receive training and ongoing support from a professionally qualified project worker. We are looking for men to act as Big Brothers to boys and women to act as Big Sisters to girls.
