How The Volunteering Process Works

The order of the steps in the application and assessment process:

  • Completes an application with BBBSPV
  • Submits a child abuse registry check/vulnerable sector screen, criminal records check, and three or four references
  • Signs an agreement of confidentiality
  • Is interviewed by BBBSPV Staff
  • Depending on the program, may be asked to participate in an assessment of their home environment
  • Successfully completes required training
  • Is notified of their acceptance/non-acceptance
The Matching Process
  • The Intake Coordinator, now familiar with the volunteer and the children and youth waiting to be matched, discusses a potential match with the volunteer, the child or youth, and, depending on the program, with the family
  • BBBSPV Staff arranges for a meeting between the child or youth, the volunteer mentor, and  the parent or guardian

If everyone agrees, the match can begin!

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
    Please choose which program you hope to volunteer with. Choose all that apply.
