To help ensure child safety, Big Brothers Big Sisters National Standards of Excellence require that specific steps must be taken. Each volunteer must complete a thorough screening process that must include:
- Completion of a formal written application.
- A background check.
- An in-person interview.
- A professional assessment of their appropriateness to volunteer with a child.
- An orientation and training process that outlines the standards, policies, expectations, and roles of a mentor.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska also provides child safety tips to you and your child, and we welcome your questions and feedback. Throughout the life of your child's match, our professional staff will be in ongoing communication with you, your child, and your child's Big.
