Get A Big

Getting your child a Big Brother or Big Sister is giving your child the gift of friendship. Parents and guardians are an integral part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters match at every step of the process. Not only will you provide information about your child’s strengths and needs, you will also approve the selection of the Big Brother or Big Sister when the time comes.

Your child’s safety is important to us! We focus heavily on the quality and integrity of our volunteers by:

  • Completing a national criminal background check
  • Gathering information from at least three references
  • Verifying a valid driver’s license and auto insurance
  • Completing an face-to-face interview

ready to partner?

Call us at 810.235.0617 to get the process started.

Submit an application. Then schedule an orientation and pre-match training along with an face-to-face interview with our staff including you and your child.

We will talk to you about the Big we have in mind for your child before moving forward so that you can give us your approval. We will then arrange a “Match Meeting” to introduce your child to his or her Big.

Our team is there to ensure that your child’s match is a successful, safe, and rewarding experience for everyone through regular communication.
