What’s Involved in Enrolling a Child

 

Once you have completed an application for your child, one of our Match Specialists will contact you to set up an interview in your home. During the interview, there will be a short orientation and we will ask you and your child questions to get to know him or her better so we can make the best match possible.

After the interview is complete, we will begin looking for a Big Brother or Big Sister for your child. When we find the right match, we will propose the match to you for approval. Upon approval, we will conduct a match introduction, and you will be on your way!

Throughout the life of the match, Bigs and Littles attend trainings provided by the agency, as well as check in regularly with their Match Coordinators. We provide optional group activities, such as game nights, sporting events and seasonal attractions.
