One-to-One

Description & Eligibility:

This program works with children who have limited to no contact with a role model other than the parent, does not display any significant physical, emotional or behavioural problems. If there is regular contact with the child’s absent parent, a close relative, a partner or someone from another agency, the program may not be appropriate for your child.

A child is matched with an adult volunteer based around their commonalities. They spend 3-4 hours a week for a minimum of a year. This relationship is built on the child having an interest in participating with a Big, the Big being committed to the programs requirements and the parent’s willingness to cooperate with the agency and its guidelines.
