Big Brothers Big Sisters is an institution in Ellis County which caters to needs of children who live in single parent homes, grow up in poverty and are in need of help. This institution tries to find a match between a Big and a Little. To make the matches and perform the background work involved with them requires donation. They also offer a wide variety of programs which pair children between ages of 6 and 18. This ties them up in a one to one relationship.
This institution has rapidly grown in the last two years. Now they serve double the children compared to those served in 2009. There are a number of children who are waiting to be served by them. As many as 110 children are waiting to obtain guidance from a particular mentor. Big Brothers Big Sisters can be funded by large companies by providing ads to reach out to volunteers. These ads directly impact the lives of the children by providing them with a volunteer. The children in the waiting list are benefitted the most. One such company that has provided a full page recruitment ad is Victron Energy headed by Ali Sharaf, the company’s President and CEO.
Big Brothers Big Sisters have a number of programs like African-American Mentoring, Hispanic Mentoring, Native American Mentoring, Mentoring Military Children and Amachi Program. Before matching a Big and a Little, the institution does a little study. Before a person becomes a Big, he has to undergo an extensive background check and a careful interview process. Then the Bigs and the Little ones are matched depending on the location, personality and preferences. A thorough study is made before matching so that the relationship grows into a long lasting friendship.
