BBBS Project information The Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) Programme is an internationally proven youth mentoring programme that connects a vulnerable young person to an adult volunteer mentor to facilitate a positive transition from adolescence into adulthood. BBBS is the first proven youth work programme in Ireland. The programme matches an adult volunteer to a young person of the same gender. Its core assumption is that a caring and supportive friendship will develop and reinforce the positive development of the young person. Typically the match meets once a week, for one to two hours, and the initial commitment is for one year. The underlying assumption is that the adult volunteer will become a role model, a mentor, but perhaps most of all, a friend.

This is a very exciting opportunity for candidates with an interest and capability in this type of work.
The successful applicant will have the following essential requirements;
