Power of Programs: Youth Mentoring

YWCA of Adelaide Big Brothers Big Sisters has been operating since 2003 and this year we have supported 60 matches, our highest number of matches at one time. Since 2003 we have had a total of 260 matches, helped 350 young people and trained 450 volunteers. To celebrate this growth and achievement YWCA of Adelaide is having a fundraising campaign to raise $60,000.

So help us reach our goal and continue to help disadvantaged youth.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

The YWCA of Adelaide’s Big Brothers Big Sisters program provides early intervention for disadvantaged young people under 18 who lack adult support and involvement in their lives. The Big Brothers Big Sisters program develops self esteem, confidence and social relationships through mentoring.

Connect-4

Connect-4 targets disadvantaged children and young people (aged 7-17) who live in the north western region of metropolitan Adelaide (City of Port Adelaide Enfield, City of Tea Tree Gully, and the City of Salisbury area) and who are on our Big Brothers Big Sisters waiting list, who respond positively to group settings. Connect-4 provides these young people ('Crew') with the opportunity to participate in group activities (with an outdoors and adventure focus) in the company and support of positive adult volunteer / role model ('Captain').
