Youth Enrollment FAQ

  • There is no charge to enroll as a Little, nor will there ever be a charge.

  • Enrolling a Little requires the individual who is referring the child to complete a Child Inquiry Form. Simply complete and submit this form to begin the process of finding your child a Big Brother or Big Sister.

  • A Little must live or attend school in Washington County and be at

    least 6 years old and in first grade and not more than 17 at inquiry.

    A parent, guardian, teacher, school counselor, social worker or an adult friend can refer a child to become a Little, but parental/guardian permission is required for a child to be accepted into the program.

  • The enrollment process takes about 60-90 days – but it may take time to find just the right match. Children and adults are matched based on location, their age, preferences, interests, and activities they enjoy. There is no set time limit to make a match. BBBS asks for the family’s patience during the waiting period and will provide free or low cost activities for youth as they wait for a mentor.
