Village Post Offices would

and flat-rate packaging.
“By working with third-

customers want them,” Do-

Jacksboro in the building be-

cher.
The program was explained
by Rhoten as a one-on-one
relationship between an adult
volunteer, called a “big” and
a child 6-14 years old, called
a “little.” The BBBS program
has a proven success rate in
preventing gangs, fighting,
drinking, drugs, teen preg-
nancies, and incarceration of
youth.
The process is to inter-
view children first, building
an applicant pool and then
screen volunteers to make a
“match.” This is followed by
training, an initial meeting of
11 parties to exp]
uidelines and g
goals, and
then the activities can begin.
Bigs are encouraged to
commit to a year long rela-
tionship and meet with the
child once a week for about
an hour. The relationships are
coordinated and monitored
by a Match Support Special-
ist, who has a college degree.
The BBBS program con-
sists of several volunteer
programs. Community-based
programs are the traditional
relationships where volun-
teers meet with children on
their own to share activities
they both enjoy. A school-
based relationship is similar,
but they meet at school. The

sions to share ac
