safety is our highest priority
We strive to achieve the highest quality possible in matching a youth to a caring volunteer Big, and in providing ongoing professional support services to our youth, parents, and volunteers.
To help ensure youth safety, Big Brothers Big Sisters National Standards of Excellence requires that each volunteer must complete a thorough screening process that includes an application, interviews with a Match Support Specialist, and a background check.
Big Brothers Big Sisters also provides youth safety tips to you and your youth, and we welcome your questions and feedback. Throughout the life of the match, our professional staff will be in ongoing communication with you, your youth, and your youth’s Big. Our staff and your youth’s Big, with your support, are committed to the healthy growth and development of your youth.
Parents are partners
Parents and guardians play an important role during the match process. As a parent or guardian:
- You will approve all match activities and support your youth's involvement in activities.
- You have regular check-ins with BBBS and your Match Support Specialist about your youth's progress and milestones in the match relationships.
- You ask your youth about the match meetings and report any concerns to agency staff.
- You participate in training on youth safety and communicate to your youth the training received.
