By signing below, I give
permission:
1.
For my child to

2.
For my child to be transported by a school district bus to
the site location and back to their school;
3.
For the school to provide social and academic information

4.
To have my child participate in an enrollment interview
conducted by Big Brothers Big Sisters staff and complete questionnaires
throughout his/her time in the program containing questions about school, home

I understand that the program is not obligated to match my
child with a volunteer and that as part of the enrollment process I may be
asked to provide additional information. I understand that the information I
provide in the enrollment process will be kept confidential, unless disclosure
is required by law and with exceptions noted.
I understand that incidents of child abuse or neglect, past or present,
must be reported to proper authorities. I understand that certain relevant
information about my child will be discussed with the volunteer who is a
prospective match (i.e. demographic information, information relevant to
volunteer preferences, and information shared in my child’s in-take interview).
I certify that all of the information on this form
is true and correct and that all income
is reported. I understand this information
is being given for the receipt of federal funds, that the information on this application may
be verified, and that deliberate misrepresentation
of the information may subject me
to prosecution under applicable state and federal laws. I understand this
information will not affect my qualification for the program.
I do hereby release, waive, and hold harmless the
organization and its employees, agents, members, volunteers and all other
persons on its behalf from any and all liability for any damage or injury which
such child might sustain while participating in said program and sponsored
activities, including but not limited to any liability to any right of action
that may occur to such child directly, or to me as his/her guardian. I
understand that this information may be shared with the school or with
partnership agencies when applicable.
If my child is matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister I
agree to support my child’s match by reviewing the program and safety
information given to me by Big Brothers Big Sisters, communicating with Big
Brothers Big Sisters staff at least once per semester and once during summer
break, and immediately reporting any concerns I might have to the school or Big
Brothers Big Sisters staff. I also understand that my child’s relationship is
considered site-based and will only occur at this time during the school year
unless approved by Big Brothers Big Sisters beforehand.
