Steve Sobota, Co-CEO of Big Buddy interviewed by Kathryn Ryan, host of ‘It Takes a Village’ on the Nine to Noon show of Radio New Zealand.
We know that boys’ achievement at school has been lagging behind girls, and that boys are more at risk of behavioural issues and mental health issues. So what can be done to help support boys as they grow to adulthood?
Steve shares his thoughts with the listeners based on his near two-decades of work with Big Buddy, and the development behind our new Group Programme.
Right now there are around 8,000 boys in New Zealand without fathers in their lives. These boys are navigating the challenges of life without the steady hand of a father to guide them.
With your help, Big Buddy can continue to match young boys with good men to offer friendship, support and a good male role model to look up to.
With 130 young boys currently on our waitlist, your support today is needed more than ever.
Your donation will help build confidence and resilience in the lives of boys whose fathers are not around.
