Welcome to the "Little" online application!
Your child, as a Little, will be matched with a Big who shares similar interests and is nearby.
The role of a Big is to be a friend, coach, and caring adult. We recommend that your child meets with their Big 1-4 times a month for a total of at least 4 hours.
We encourage Bigs and Littles to commit to a year-long relationship, but many matches decide to continue for several years with our support.
We offer structured/sponsored events and encourage free-to-low cost activities. While we share ideas through our social media and monthly newsletter, the activities done with the Big require prior approval from the Parent/Guardian.
All Matches and Parent/Guardians are supported by a team of BBBS Staff, providing a specialist to answer questions, assist with goal setting, offer advice, and suggest meaningful activities for the mentoring relationship.
As a caring and careful organization, we have administrative requirements for our Bigs, including background checks, motor vehicle records, and proof of auto insurance.
The application process takes around 20 minutes and is the first step to enrolling your child as a Little!
