Job DescriptionJob Description

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts (BBBSEM) we believe that every child deserves to have a mentor in their corner and to ignite and defend their potential.

To accomplish this we partner with schools, workplaces, and volunteers all over Eastern Massachusetts to bring our program and services closest to youth who need them.

  • Facilitate the initial placement (“match meeting”) between each volunteer, youth, the youth’s parent/guardian, and our agency support staff.
  • Document clearly and in a timely manner all information obtained through the assessment and matching process and maintain accurate records for volunteers and families.
  • Advocate for volunteers and youth seeking placement that may not be readily available and maintain regular communication with them to ensure the most up-to-date information when placement options become available.
  • Collaborate closely with other service delivery staff to build agency knowledge/awareness and enable the most children to be successfully served.
  • Constantly look after the safety of our youth and inform management of any critical youth and family incidents and potential issues that may impact our services.
  • Represent Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts throughout the communities we serve and in public.
  • Participate in different site-wide initiatives to drive engagement in topics of diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Be a part of a true team - together with your peers work on projects and events that will drive enhancements and improvements
