The parent/guardian and the child are required to attend a parent/child interview. The parent/guardian and child are interviewed individually to determine eligibility of the child and to gather/assess information needed to make a successful match. In addition, the parent/guardian will need to attend a "Parent Training" prior to enrollment.
Once our staff has met the parent and child, the child is ready to be matched and waits to hear about a potential volunteer.
The enrollment and matching staff stays in contact with children who are waiting for a volunteer to keep their information as current as possible.
