Refer a “Little”

We are honored by your interest in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana.

Getting a child involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters is great for his or her development, growth and self-esteem. National research has proven that children can benefit from their association with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our organization has had more than 1,100 successful matches with caring Big Brothers and Big Sisters this past year alone.

To become a Little Brother or Little Sister, a child must be between the ages of 8 – 14 in Marion, Hamilton and Johnson counties.

Please be aware that there may be a waiting period as we work to find the best possible “Big” for your child. This is because we are very committed to making sure that the match will be a good one and that your child will be able to share and learn from a “Big” whom he or she will like and trust.

Your Child’s Safety Is Very Important To Us

At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we are committed to ensuring the safety and health of children at all times. To read more about how we act on our commitment to child safety, click here.

Parents/Guardians Are Our Partners

Parents and guardians are an integral part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters match at every step of the process. Not only will you provide information about your child, but you will also approve the selection of the Big Brother or Big Sister. Once matched, you are encouraged to talk to your child regularly about the match, talk to the BBBSCI Match Support staff and attend helpful training sessions.

Options Promote Flexibility

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana offers various mentoring options for both families and volunteers to promote flexibility and encourage the greatest opportunities to learn and share between the “Big” and “Little.”
