Match Guidelines

The following match guidelines spell out the basic responsibilities for the Volunteer, Parent and Child.


The volunteer’s relationship with the child is a one-to-one friend.


The volunteer is responsible for setting limits with the child to ensure the child’s safety.


The volunteer is responsible for monitoring any use of the internet by the child during match outings. The volunteer is not permitted to accept or initiate a "friend" request to the child on any social media sites.


The volunteer is responsible for obtaining prior approval from the parent for match outings and activities.


The volunteer is responsible for showing up on time for outings and returning the child at the agreed upon time.


Visits to the volunteer’s home are not permitted during the first three months of the match and then are only allowed with permission of the parent/guardian and program staff.


Alcohol, tobacco, vaping, legal, illegal drugs and any impairment causing substance are strictly prohibited prior to and during match activities.


The parent/guardian remains the disciplinarian. If a problem arises with the school, police, at home, the volunteer is not responsible to deal with the situation.


It is recommended that the parent/guardian not punish the child by keeping them from seeing their Big.


The parent/guardian is responsible for being aware of all match activities.


The child is responsible for telling their parent/guardian of any concerns, areas of discomfort, fears, dislikes, or confusion occurring between them and the volunteer.


The child is responsible for being ready on time when the volunteer arrives to pick them up for an outing.


It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian, volunteer and the agency to maintain contact with each other and share questions, and to work toward problem solving in a cooperative way. The staff is ready to answer questions, hear comments and serve as a resource person to match activities, and otherwise act as a resource to the match. When appropriate, referrals will be made to other agencies for assistance with specific needs at the parent’s request.


Overnight visits of Bigs and Littles are not allowed for the duration of the match relationship. 


I have read the Community-Based Program Guidelines. I agree to support the Big Brothers Big Sisters program by following the guidelines as long as I am in the program and understand that if I do not follow the guidelines, the agency may end my participation in the program.
