FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Is the process to become a Big Brother or Big Sister a lengthy one?
- Although the screening process is thorough, it can be done in a minimum amount of time. The program staff is always willing to accommodate the volunteer’s schedule and can make the process very easy and convenient.
- Do I have to have special skills to be a Big Brother or Big Sister?
- No special skills are required. A volunteer must only share in the belief that children deserve a chance to succeed.
- How much time will I need to spend with my ‘Little’?
- The agency asks that the volunteer make a consistent contact that averages out to about 4 – 6 hours per month.
- Do I have to be married? Single? Can I have children of my own?
- Volunteers come from all walks of life. They can be married, single, have children or have never had children. Volunteers can include other family members in the match as well.
- How much will it cost?
- There is no cost to become a ‘Big’. However, once you are matched with a ‘Little’ it is up to you to pay for events and activities that you plan with the child so keep that in mind when planning events.
