The Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) Programme run by Foróige is a youth mentoring programme that forms supportive friendships between a young person and an adult volunteer.
The BBBS programme is based on the idea that having a caring adult friend can help build positive assets in young people, such as a commitment to learning, social skills, and resisting negative behaviours, in order to enable the young people to have a positive sense of self and of their future.
