THE COST OF DOING NOTHING<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many young people find themselves in vulnerable situations and facing adversities such as mental health issues, family violence, identity issues or poor living conditions, which put these youth at risk of not reaching their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1568837152219{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 68px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #d9d9d6 !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”3288″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1504723684945{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1568837160214{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

PAVING THE WAY TO SUCCESS<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the guidance and support of a mentor, these risks can be avoided, and these young people can gain the confidence to achieve more – higher incomes, happier lives, more contributions to their communities.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1568837144004{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #54585a !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”3110″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1503676665405{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1503525779260{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

THE CONFIDENCE TO ACHIEVE MORE<\/span><\/h3>\n

HOW DO WE DO IT?<\/span><\/h2>\n

BBBS creates individual and group mentoring relationships amongst adults and youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mentorship is a two-way, learning and development partnership where the young person needs are placed at the centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because young people\u2019s brains are still developing, mentoring can support that process through back-and-forth interaction like the volley in a good game of ping-pong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mentoring is an important way to give youth experience with these essential back-and-forth relationships, developing them into healthy young people better able to deal with and overcome life\u2019s adversities.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1568837191531{background-color: #54585a !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
