Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui's Community-Based Program matches a Mentor (adult) with a Youth (aged 6-16) based on geographic location, common interests, and likelihood of developing a friendship.

Our Mentors always tell us that they feel they get more out of volunteering than they contribute. Some benefits of being a mentor include gaining a personal wing person who provides professional support to help you along your mentoring journey, complimentary passes to do things around Maui with your youth, and the ability to build a life-long friendship. Many Maui youth, especially boys, yearn to connect and wait for a role model. 

Today's youth face various challenges, and being matched with a Mentor can help them navigate these challenges and reach their full potential.  Most youth in our program come from single-parent homes and can benefit from having a good role model in their lives. Mentors allow youth to express themselves and enjoy being a kid.

Mentor/Volunteer Commitment:

·         At least a one-year relationship with the youth.

·         Meet 2-3 times per month with the youth. This can be anything from teaching a new skill, doing arts & crafts together, or just talking stories and going on a walk.  You get to determine the date and time and coordinate this with the parent/guardian.

To Sign-Up, Volunteers Need To:
