Enroll a Child

For over 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been matching children with caring adult mentors who help them realize and reach their potential. We carefully train and continuously support our mentors as we work together to help the child(ren) in your care gain the positive social and emotional support they need for happy and successful development.

To enroll, the child in your care must be between 7 and 17 years old. When the child is matched with a mentor, she or he will also be assigned a Mentor Manager who will act as a coach, resource and problem-solver to support you, your child (Little) and the volunteer mentor (Big) with supervision and encouragement throughout the course of the match.

Give your child the gift of a mentor — and a new friend!

How the Matching Process Works

Our unique matching process is designed to identify a mentor who will be an ideal fit for your child based on matching your child’s personal interests with those of his or her Big. Often, finding that perfect match will take a bit of time but you will be involved every step of the way and we’re confident that the result will be worth the wait.

Your Child’s Physical and Emotional Safety is Our HIGHEST Priority

Our mentors go through an in-depth, national background check, and a very thorough interview and screening process. Once a Big passes the background and interview phases, they receive an extensive orientation and training so they can offer the best support possible to your child.

There’s No Cost to Join

There is no cost to you for your child join our program. We do require that your child be committed to attending scheduled visits with his or her Big for at least four (4) hours per month.
