This is a match between a caring adult and a child in need of a mentor. We ask for a commitment of at least one year, and at least one hour per week of activities. Our commitment to the volunteer and the child is to strive towards ensuring that each 'match' is a compatible friendship, so that everyone including parents, children, and volunteers are happy with the relationships.

A match specialist will meet with a volunteer to ensure that the "Little's" needs, as well as the "Big's and Parent's expectations, are agreed upon prior to the "match" being made. A volunteer mentor is a friendly, concerned, mature, stable, and personable adult of at least 18 years of age.

They must have the qualities of patience, dependability, and reliability, as well as the capacity for a sincere, close friendship without conditions.
