Who are the kids served by Big Brothers Big Sisters?
Because kids sometimes can use an extra person to talk to and share things they cant with friends or parents, they are referred to Big Brothers Big Sisters by parents, schools, counselors and sometimes, themselves. The children and their parents are interviewed to determine their appropriateness for the program. If a child has any severe behavior problems or serious counseling issues, we refer them on to other services. A few littles do have some mild to moderate adjustment problems due to personal loss or family trauma, but we train our mentors on how to deal with most situations you would encounter.
