Frequently Asked Questions

What is your agency’s mission?

Why is mentoring important?

How does mentoring work?

Why choose this program over others?

What kind of kids are matched with volunteers?

What are some good ideas for outings?

Does Big Brothers Big Sisters have any results to prove the program’s success?

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lubbock measures the impact of services by administering a nationally accepted pre- and post-test known as the Youth Outcomes Survey. This survey shows us that our mentoring programs result in proven, positive short-term and long-term outcomes for youth in three main areas: educational success, avoidance of risky behaviors, and increased social and emotional well-being.

What is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lubbock greatest need?

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lubbock is in need of mentors, particularly male mentors. On average there are 100 children on the waiting list. Most of these children have already gone through the enrollment process and are just waiting for their Big Brother or Big Sister.

In addition, monetary support is a great need. It costs between $1,200 and $1,500 to manage and sustain match support services for one full year, per match. With your help we can ensure that our program remains free to families and volunteers. Therefore, donations of any size are greatly appreciated.

What kind of support can I expect from Big Brothers Big Sisters once I get matched?

Once you are matched with a child, a Match Support Specialist will be in regular contact with you to provide assistance and give feedback. Any time you are unsure about what to do or how to handle a situation, you will have a Match Support Specialist there to help. They’ll help you with ideas for activities, guidance for handling sensitive or challenging situations, and feedback on how you are making a difference.

How much money should I spend?

The quality of the time you invest is more important than the amount of money you spend. That’s why we don’t encourage spending a lot of money on your outings. The goal of the friendship is to help the child see the world through a different lens so you can inspire them to become something they never thought possible. Should you decide to spend money, we encourage you to seek out low-cost activities, especially in the beginning. BBBS of Lubbock will host at-least 1 free event per month for our matches. Also, as a Big, you may occasionally receive notices for free tickets to local cultural and sports activities.
