Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio, Inc. - Delaware County One-to-One Mentoring
As an affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, our agency has adopted national standards that govern:
the screening and acceptance of both
youth and adults
mandatory volunteer training
the matching process
required meeting frequency
the ongoing supervision of mentoring relationships
One of the distinguishing characteristics of Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring is our emphasis on ongoing support and supervision. Our support staff help build strong, trusting relationships and ensure the safety of the children. They support and encourage the Bigs and Littles as their friendship develops by connecting them with activities that align wither their interests while also fostering social and emotional development.
As our staff identifies additional needs of our children and families beyond mentoring, they coordinate supportive services with local service providers. We maintain a record of community resources and social service organizations to make referrals as needed.
