The general process for volunteering is:
Call them and interview at their office. One person is in charge of gathering info about you and setting up a match with a Little, then someone else sees you through the first year.
I was happy with the process until it came time for the actual match. The description given of the Little and family (safety-wise) was quite different than what I actually saw. There was a lot of pressure to continue the match even though I felt scared to go again, being I was being told I would let the child down, etc.
My advice to future volunteers is to watch out for yourself, listen to your gut AND DO NOT ACCEPT PRESSURE. This might bring you into neighborhoods and situations you would never choose on your own. If you are uncomfortable, leave immediately, because there are real risks. The match process focused on the safety of the Little but not much on the Big's welfare.
If safety is a big concern, the school-based programs may be another option.
