Effective 6/1/10,  Due to the  large number of boys  already waiting for an interview and a match in  Hillsborough and Pasco Counties,  and due to our limited resources,   we are temporarily  not enrolling any additional boys into our program. We will be re-evaluating this temporary  policy  at the end of July and will post any changes on this website. (Note:  Thanks to the availability of special grant funding,  we are still accepting qualified boys  who have a parent incarcerated currently in a state or federal prison.  Please contact us  for full details by contacting: 813.287.2210 or tampabay.info@bbbs.org)

Here are the requirements to enroll your child in our program:

1. Your family must live in Hillsborough, Pasco, or Polk County.

2. Your child must be between the ages of five and 12-years-old to enroll.

3.  If you are applying for a boy, he must not have a consistent adult male in his life (no adult male in the home or contact with an adult male more than once a month).

4. If your child is in any special placement in school, please note that at this time we cannot accept applications for children in SED placement.

5. For the Site-based program, school personnel refer children to our agency.

To sign your child up for a Big, call 813.287.2210 or e-mail tampabay.info@bbbs.org
