I give permission for my child to participate in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I understand that the BBBS agency is not obligated to match my child with a volunteer and that as part of the enrollment process I will be asked to provide additional personal information. I understand that my child and I will be asked to provide additional personal information about school, home, interests, safety, etc.  Upon acceptance into the program, information gathered will be used to place my child in a match relationship with a volunteer.  I have read the program description and understand the agency’s guidelines and expectations for myself and my child in a match relationship through BBBSTC. I authorize BBBSTC to talk to my child about their personal safety and respond to sensitive topics in a professional manner. If my child is matched with a Big Brother or Sister, I agree to support my child’s match and to immediately report any concerns I might have to the Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. 

BBBSTC recognizes and appreciates the role of online media and social networking in today’s society. Before my child engages in any online activities with his/her Big Brother or Big Sister, I understand that I must give my permission.

I hereby give my permission for BBBSTC to use identifying information (first name, photograph, match profile information) regarding my child now, and in the future, for agency publications, media productions, promotional materials, and online social networking media (social media, blog post stories, inspirational videos, etc.)  This publication consent will expire upon my giving written notification to BBBSTC. This revocation will not apply to existing publications or productions in stock for distribution. Last names of minors (Littles or High-School Bigs) will not be used in any BBBSTC publication without further written or verbal consent by the minor’s parent or legal guardian. (Please note BBBSTC encourages other media entities to abide by this policy, but ultimately, BBBSTC is not responsible for external publicity.)
