Pre-Interview Questionnaire

Prior to your in-person interview, please answer the questions below. The information you provide will also help us make a better match for you and assure we can support you during your involvement with our program. Please note that you will have an opportunity to discuss these questions and your responses more thoroughly during your in-person interview.  











Please provide the name, age, and relationship to you for anyone eles residing in your home.




Confidentiality Policy

Given the nature of our program and the fact that we are working to develop strong one-to-one relationships, our mentors may be introduced to sensitive and extremely personal information about the Little they are matched with.  All Big Brothers and Big Sisters in the program must agree and adhere to strict confidential treatment of all information pertaining to areas of concern and background for the parties involved. You are to share private information only with the Big Brothers Big Sisters professional staff.  Big Brothers Big Sister encourages confidentiality between the Big and the Little. In order for a trusting relationship to develop, friends need to feel confident that their thoughts and feelings will not be shared with others without permission. 

I understand that Big Brothers Big Sisters discourages Bigs and Littles from connecting on social media.  I understand that the use of social media as a way of communication between the Big and Little can only occur if the Little is age 13 or older, and the parent has signed permission allowing the use of social media.  I understand that the Match Specialist and parent must be notified and agree to allow any contact through any social media (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Snap Chat, Instagram, etc.)



Release of Information Authorization for Background Check

The information I provided will be used to conduct a background check, to include a search of public domain records, driving record checks, juvenile and adult criminal history checks, military records, and other records where required by local, state, or federal law for volunteers working with youth.
