The application process typically takes between one to two months. There is usually an additional wait period after acceptance that varies according to the needs of our youth.
There are six steps once you have filled out an application to become matched with a Little. Step 1 Once your application is submitted, you will be invited to attend a Volunteer Information Session. Step 2 At our Volunteer Information Session, you'll learn more about our organization, the volunteer role and the support structures in place to help the match relationship. You will be able to ask questions and decide whether the program is a right fit for you.
Step 3 Since you will be working with a child in a 1-to-1 capacity, you will be asked to undergo our screening process. This includes an in-depth character interview that will last about hours. During this time, we will learn more about your personal life, background and match preferences. For this interview you will need to provide a valid government-issued photo ID and references.
Step 4 Following the interview, we will reach out to your references and run a criminal background check. A training session must also be completed prior to acceptance.
Step 5 We will contact you regarding your application status. If the program is a right fit, you will be placed in the pool of waiting Bigs to be matched with an appropriate Little. Step 6 Once a Little has been identified for you, a Program Manager will reach out to provide basic information and to schedule an initial meeting called a Pre-Match Meeting. If you have any questions or concerns anytime during your match, your Program Manager is there to provide guidance and supervision for the match.
Our volunteers must live in the Tri-State area and have the willingness and flexibility to travel to one of the five boroughs to meet up with their Little. What is a youth mentor or Big? What are some activities that matches do in New York City? How is being a Big different from other volunteer opportunities? Do you offer an online mentoring program?
