Parents are our Partners – Community Based Matches
As the parent of a child in a Community Based match, we’ll work closely with you because your input is important. Not only do you provide information about your child’s strengths and needs, but you approve the selection of the Big Brother or Big Sister you want for your child. Once the match is made, parents remain closely involved in several key ways.
