Enroll A Little
| *NEW* After school Mentoring Program is underway!
If your child would like a mentor at their Elementary school or at Regenstrief Community Center, please contact our office soon. We have a limited number of high school volunteers ready to be Bigs for your child! |
Eligibility Criteria:
Littles must be between the ages of 6 through 16 years old.
If your child is matched with a Big, they can stay in the program until they are 18 years old.
They MUST be residents of Fayette County.
Who Can Enroll A Little:
The request can come from anyone in the community.
Parents, children, extended family, teachers, mental health professionals or
anyone else who feels the child would benefit from a positive, adult role model.
There are no restrictions for Race, Religion or National origin
Health:
Children should be in good physical health and may require a doctor’s note, but no restrictions on physical handicaps.
Mental Health:
Children who are currently in therapy for emotional problems will need a clinical referral form.
A child who may be a danger to him/herself or others would need special consideration.*
*We have taken some of our children on field trips and we should not have to be concerned about their ability to
interact with their peers in a friendly, safe manner.
Legal Involvement:
A child who has been under the juvenile justice system will receive special attention
regarding their suitability for the program, and may be excluded on the
basis of their legal involvement if that is deemed appropriate.
Parent/Guardian Requirements:
The parent/guardian must show a willingness to cooperate with Big Brothers Big Sisters and abide by policies.
The parent or guardian must discussed the referral with the child,
and also with the absent parent if there is frequent contact with that person.
Addendum:
Any child acceptable within these criteria is eligible to be matched.
Matching of any child is solely dependent upon, and restricted to, the capacity indicated by the volunteer
and the professional judgment of the caseworker as it relates to the matching process.
