Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern CT

This is our traditional program where a child is matched with an adult volunteer mentor. Matches are made after an interview with the child and with his/her parent or guardian. Volunteers are interviewed, attend training and are thoroughly background checked before being accepted as a Big Brother or Sister. Enrollment and Match specialists find the right people for one another based on geography and, more importantly, similar interests. From there, a Match Support Specialist is assigned to the pair. It is her job to keep in communication with the Big, the Little and the Parent/Guardian to be certain that the goals set for the match are attained.
