IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ALL ACTIVE BIGS will need to be fingerprinted

In 2022, the State of Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Mental Health and Addiction, continues its efforts to address Opioid Risk and Substance Use in the State. The Indiana Youth Institute partnered with the FSSA to initiate a grant entitled Mentoring Opportunities for Youth (funded by the Department of Justice) to provide the deliverables in the grant. To do this, IYI identified partners across the state with evidence-based mentoring programs. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Indiana was selected, and we committed to two (2) years of technical assistance, training, and organizational shifts toward better serving our youth. Over the next several years, we will offer our internal Staff, Mentors, and Board Members training on a bimonthly to quarterly basis on varying topics.

In order to be compliant of the grant, ALL ACTIVE BIGS will need to be fingerprinted. We encourage all of our Bigs to set up a fingerprinting appointment on the IdentoGO (free of charge to BIGS) by the end of October. Please CLICK HERE for step-by-step instructions to schedule your fingerprinting appointment, and then Click Here (IdentoGO) for the scheduling website. If you have any questions please reach out to your case manager for assistance.
