Enroll a Child

As a parent, you recognize the potential of your child better than anyone. By giving your child the opportunity to be part of Big Brothers Big Sisters, you're starting them down a path to an even brighter, more promising future.

Could your little one use a Big?

It all starts with the right role models. And Big Brothers Big Sisters is the place to start a relationship with one. For over 100 years, due in large part to private donations, we've been able to recruit, screen, match, and support mentoring relationships that have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people across the country.

Parents

You know what's best for your child. So we'll need your help from the start, providing information about your child's strengths and needs, and ultimately approving the Big Brother or Big Sister match. But your role doesn't end there.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP TO DEFEND POTENTIAL

To get more information about enrolling your child with Big Brothers Big Sisters, fill out the form below, and we'll pass along your information to the agency that serves your area. A staff member will contact you about the next steps in the process.

Safety from the start.

Your child's safety is extremely important to us. Big Brothers Big Sisters conducts a thorough background check on every volunteer in our program, and every relationship is closely monitored and supported by a professionally trained match coordinator.

You'll feel the impact as much as your child.

✓ do better in school

✓ get along better with their family and friends

✓ feel better about themselves*
