When Applying for our programs, a Little Brother or Little Sister must be between the ages of six and sixteen. The friendship with a Big Brother and Big Sister can be supported by the agency through to seventeen years of age.
Our social work staff will work with you and your child to review your situation and determine how a Big Brother or Big Sister would be of benefit. Factors that would be considered regarding your child’s needs include:
- Parent or guardian support
- Adult involvement other than the parent(s) or guardian(s)
- Peer relationships
- School performance
- Community activity participation
- Living environment
