COULD YOUR LITTLE ONE USE A BIG?
As a parent, you recognize the potential of your child better than anyone. By giving your child the opportunity to be part of Big Brothers Big Sisters, you’re starting them down a path to an even brighter, more promising future.
STEPS TO ENROLLING A YOUTH
STEP ONE:
FILL OUT AN INQUIRY FORM
Complete the inquiry form so we can learn more about the child you're interested in enrolling.
STEP TWO:
SPEAK WITH AN ENROLLMENT SPECIALIST
We'll schedule a call to learn more information and help you determine which program might be the best fit.
STEP THREE:
FILL OUT AN APPLICATION
We'll review the application and reach out for next steps.
STEP FOUR:
ATTEND PARENT ORIENTATION
You'll get in-depth details about the program, process of selecting Bigs and what their expectations are, what it means to be an engaged Parent Partner, and details on the interview process.
STEP FIVE:
PARENT/CHILD INTERVIEW
We want to learn as much information about the child, why they want a Big, and why you want them in the program, so we can make the best match.
STEP SIX:
MATCHING
A lot of thought and intention goes into our matches. We have a very in-depth matching process to make sure we select the best fit for you, your child, and the mentor.
PARENTS
You know what’s best for your child. So we’ll need your help from the start, providing information about your child’s strengths and needs, and ultimately approving the Big Brother or Big Sister match. But your role doesn’t end there.
SAFETY FROM THE START
Your child's safety is extremely important to us. Big Brothers Big Sisters conducts a thorough background check on every volunteer in our program, and every relationship is closely monitored and supported by a professionally trained match coordinator.
