Little Sister Mentees
Rebuilding lives through mentoring
The SISTER2sister Program provides structured mentoring and psychoeducational workshops and activities to adolescent girls aged from 12 to 18 years old who are experiencing complex challenges.
Little Sisters are paired with female mentors (Big Sisters) who are positive stable role models and have undergone intensive screening and training.
Over the past 20 years, the Sister2sister Foundation has supported more than 700 adolescent girls experiencing complex challenges to reap the benefits of our programs, teaching them crucial life skills, building friendships, and creating relationships of trust and reliability to help them navigate life more effectively.
In 2025, we’re taking the opportunity to reshape our Sister2sister mentoring program, ensuring it continues to empower adolescent girls to deal with today and get ready for tomorrow.
We also need to secure our funding base to continue making the difference to at-risk or vulnerable adolescent girls for the long-term. Therefore, we will continue to collaborate with corporate partners, grant programs, philanthropic organisations and supporters to ensure our capacity to deliver and make a difference to adolescent girls endures into the future.
While we work on shoring up the mentoring program, the Foundation will continue to offer our renowned in-school program, No Limits 4 Girls, and in 2025 we’re planning to expand our program across several schools, offering a new program tailored to meet the emerging needs of year 7 girls identified by the school.
In 2026 we expect to re-launch the Sister2sister mentoring program with a cohort of up to 30 Little Sisters, and further expand the reach of No Limits 4 Girls, ensuring both programs continue to support, inspire and empower adolescent girls to believe in themselves.

About the program
The Program is designed to build resilience and empower positive change within a safe, nurturing and socially inclusive environment.
Program Inclusions
The 8-month program includes:
- 3 day residential Camp (combining educational seminars, team building workshops and bonding with Big Sister and peers).
- Monthly group life skills workshops and activities focusing on core underlying issues (E.g. self-esteem, resilience, health, self-regulation and body image).
- Group "outings" with Big and Little Sisters designed to build trust and connection, and to provide respite to Little Sisters who are facing serious concerns and responsibilities in their day to day life. These can include Trapeze, cooking and nutrition, rock climbing and self defense.
- Support for Big and Little Sisters from experienced staff and program leadership team. The Program operates within an integrated, holistic, trauma-informed mentoring and education framework, inclusive of ongoing support to the Little Sisters beyond the structured program itself for long-term sustainable change.
