Does the child have to want a Big Brother or Big Sister to be accepted into the Big Brothers Big Sisters program?
Yes, this is not a compulsory program. In fairness to our volunteers and especially the children who want ‘Bigs’, we want any child referred by a parent/guardian to know about the program and to be interested in getting matched with a Big. Friendships can’t be forced if the participants aren’t open to the idea of being friends or when someone is participating half-heartedly.
