Volunteer Reference – Teacher Volunteer Reference - Teacher Step 1 of 2 50% ConfidentialBig Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that enrolls volunteer mentors to provide a healthy role model to children and youth in our community. Volunteer mentors must provide a stable, positive influence over the period of their commitment, which is usually a school or calendar year. Many of the resilient children and youth in our programs have experienced challenges in their lives; relying on the consistent presence of a mentor makes a difference in their lives, likewise ending this important relationship sooner than expected can have a detrimental effect on the young person. Help us Start Something for our community’s youth by providing a reference that, to the best of your knowledge, is an honest reflection of the applicant and their ability to be a positive influence in the life of a child.
