For Men Interested in Becoming Big Buddies

Introduction

Thanks for being prepared to explore what it would take for you – or someone you know - to become a Big Buddy to a boy who doesn’t have a positive male role model in his life.

To become a Big Buddy you go through an application process and once accepted are matched with a little buddy. While there is a 3 month trial period to start you really need to think of making a commitment of at least 1 year. In this first year you will need to meet as regularly as you can, we suggest weekly but fortnightly can work, and keep contact via phone.  You would normally pick the Little Buddy up from his home and go out somewhere. It a good chance to explore the world maybe try things you may never have had time for before. You don’t need to entertain each other; just hanging out together is fine.

Most Buddies see the relationship lasting for life, however it will change over that time. You may see more or less of each other, but both of your lives will be different for having met each other.

While we stay in contact with you and offer support, we do not expect you to report to us, achieve goals or do anything other then just show up regularly.
