I Want to Become a Virtual Big

After signing up and completing all of the necessary training, you will be matched with a little by Big Brothers Big Sisters staff.

To become a ‘Virtual Big’, Wake Forest students must complete the following steps:

1. Sign Up
2. Complete a virtual interview with a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters staff, and have your references checked and approved.
3. Complete Wake Forest University’s Mandatory Protecting Youth Training.
   1. Tutors will receive a link via email from the Everfi platform. You have one week to complete the training from the time it is sent. 
4. Complete a background check with Big Brothers Big Sisters
5. Complete Big Brothers Big Sisters Training on Child Safety and Best Practices for Mentoring

Big Brothers Big Sisters will provide a list of appropriate conversation starters as well as some sample activities.

If you have any questions, please contact Maggie DeBaugh at Big Brothers Big Sisters.

All Virtual Bigs will be assigned to a staff member at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Forsyth and Davie Counties, who will conduct individual check-ins. The first check-in will be within 24 hours of the first session between a Virtual Big and Little.

Following the initial check-in, together, along with BBBS, the Office of Civic & Community Engagement will work with each Big to create a check-in schedule.
