It's just as easy as the Big Brother and Big Sister matching program and the great part about it is that you can volunteer together! Couples for Kids is a flexible program that gives you and your partner an opportunity to have fun together while bringing magic into the life of a child. Volunteer with your partner or spouse and be matched to a Little Brother or Little Sister. This is a great way for both of you to give the gift of friendship to a child.
THE PROGRAM
The program matches couples with a child and provides acceptance, guidance and support. The agency strives to match each couple with a child whose needs corresponds with the couple's abilities, interests, and preferences. After a match has been made, the caseworker will keep in touch and offer on-going support and guidance.
THE CHILDREN
The child is generally between the ages of 6-18. In order for a boy or girl to be matched with a couple, the child must want to join the Couples for Kids program. Being matched with a couple has been shown to benefit the child immensely exposing him or her to a caring, respectful adult relationship.
THE COUPLES
Couples in the program should be at least 20 years of age, and should have been together for at least one year. The Couples for Kids program provides flexibility by allowing one member of the couple to spend time with the child if the other person is unavailable.
