Safety and Safeguarding Policy

Who are we?

We operate as an On-Demand Big Brother Program, offering instant access to certified mentors for encouragement, mentorship, and healthy relationship-building. No more waitlists.

We encourage prospective Big Brothers to bring their life experiences and unique perspectives to support and guide our Littles. What sets us apart is our Proprietary Certification Program, which goes beyond other traditional programs.

Our services include the opportunities of: on-demand individual sessions, recurring membership-based mentorship, and bundled session packages that allow families to purchase multiple sessions for their Little. Each Big Brother completes our certification program, which equips them with the tools and frameworks needed to navigate potential blind-spots when providing guidance on topics they may not be immediately familiar with.

Big Brothers are Certified in:

  • Confidence & Resilience

  • Adolescent Development & Puberty Education

  • Brain-Based Learning & Hormone Health

  • Social Intelligence & Friendship Skills

  • Executive Training (How to structure and schedule your day)

  • Personal Style & Professional Grooming

  • ‘How to Be Cool’ Tips

  • Fitness, Nutrition & Physical Well-Being (Advice)

  • Positive Reinforcement & Empowerment

    (And more!)

Note: As advancements in developmental science come in we inform ongoing updates.

Our Definition of Masculinity

We don’t believe in forcing boys into a one-size-fits-all version of masculinity. Instead of shame or rigid expectations, based on genetics, our Big Brothers lead with encouragement, strength, and guidance - bringing out your son’s natural potential.

Sometimes, the simple presence of a strong male role model is what creates the shift. Our science-based approach works quietly in the background, strengthening each interaction and deepening the impact over time.

The Screening and Vetting Process

For our hiring process for our Certified Big Brother program, we maintain a rigorous screening and vatting process to ensure the safety and well-being of every Little.

If this opportunity aligns with your interests, please take the next steps to onboarding for your little. Below you will see our safety and safeguarding policy. You can also learn more about our program by setting up a consult.

We look forward to the positive impact we will create together.

Empowering the next generation,
A New Big Brother Company

  • Every Big Brother is certified and fully background checked. Each mentor is screened through our internal system and the background check standards required by their state.

  • Every Big Brother is trained as a mandated reporter. This means they are educated to recognize and legally report suspected child abuse or neglect, ensuring the safety and protection of every Little Brother.

  • Every Big Brother signs safety agreements that protect the Little Brother, the parents, and the mentor. These contracts ensure accountability, clear expectations, and a secure environment for everyone involved.

  • Little Brothers have a safe space to discuss questions and challenges they may not feel comfortable sharing with their parents. This includes topics like puberty, body changes, friendships, school stress, or personal struggles. Mentors are trained to hold these conversations in confidence while following a clear safety policy: confidentiality only ends if the mentor suspects harm to self, harm to others, or abuse. Parents receive high-level progress updates without specific personal details.

  • The Big Brother Kickoff Agreement is read aloud by the parent to the Little Brother before the first session, setting clear rules and safety boundaries. It gives the youth a safe space to discuss challenges, questions, or personal struggles while defining exactly when confidentiality ends for safety reasons. It also empowers the Little Brother to stop a session or report concerns, and ensures the Big Brother communicates only through the official platform, creating accountability and trust for both parties.

  • Every Big Brother agrees to keep communication within the platform, with no social media or outside contact. This ensures clear boundaries, safety, and a professional, supportive mentorship.

  • Every Big Brother is certified in our Adolescent Development Model and trained in confidence building, fitness and nutrition, friendship skills, and practical strategies for handling bullying and social situations. Using encouragement, positive role-model bonding, and coaching methods like Priming, Tagging, and Solidifying, our approach supports healthy brain development and helps your son grow into a strong and confident version of himself.

  • At A New Big Brother, we strive to make our programs accessible to every family, scholarships and flexible rates for sessions, are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure support reaches those who need it most.

    If you are requesting a scholarship rate, please be prepared to provide proof of income (yearly or monthly) during the application process. A Pay Stub or W-2 may be request for validation. While we aim to support as many families as possible, awards are granted at the organization's discretion. General rates remain available under the 'Enroll a Little Brother' and 'Book Now' tabs. We look forward to assisting you and making this process as quick as possible.
