THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY

Making the best possible match between Little and Big is critical to the growth and development of a child. But before we begin the matching process, we start by thoroughly screening potential Bigs.

BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS NATIONAL STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE

Our standards require each volunteer to complete an extensive screening process. It includes:

  • Completion of a formal written application
  • Background and reference checks
  • An in-person interview
  • An orientation and training process that outlines the individualized needs of your child and provides information and resources on how to encourage your child’s development

CHILD SAFETY TIPS

Big Brothers Big Sisters also provides child safety tips to you and your child, and we welcome your questions and feedback. Throughout the life of the match, our professional staff will be in ongoing communication with you, your child, and your child’s Big. It’s the best way to build a strong relationship that will have the greatest impact on your child’s future success.
