Inspire Change & Mentor Our Tomorrow! Maui
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hawai’is Community-Based Program matches a Mentor (adult) with a Youth (age 6-16) based on geographic location, common interests, and likelihood to develop a friendship. We ask Mentors to make at least a one-year commitment to meeting with the youth they are matched with, 2-3 times per month for a few hours at a time. These meetings can be anything from teaching a new skill or how to play a new game to just hanging out and talking story.
In the past, matches have participated in activities such as fishing and hiking, playing soccer, going to movies, arts and crafts, playing guitar, or going to the beach. A majority of the youth in our program come from single-parent homes and can benefit from having a good role model in their lives. Mentors provide an outlet for youth to express themselves and enjoy being a kid.
Enrollment into the program includes: Completing an application & online training In-person interview Be able to pass background, fingerprinting, and reference checks Have reliable transportation and a safe driving record Take the next step and empower a Maui youth today! Call Char at (808)298-4781 if you have any questions.

About the organizer
The goal of our program is to provide positive role models to help Hawaii’s youth succeed in school, embrace higher aspirations and hope for the future, have better relationships with family and friends, and avoid risky negative influences like drugs, alcohol, and gang activity. The children and teens we serve face many challenges, but research shows that being matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister helps at-risk youth navigate a path to reach their fullest potential.
