Lunch Buddies The Lunch Buddies program was established primarily to bring adult volunteer's into youth's lives. In addition to providing adult role models, the objective of this program is to create an environment where, through one-on-one interaction with adult volunteers, students will receive guidance, have the opportunity to learn more about a wider variety of life experiences and develop friendships.
Get involved. The Lunch Buddies Program is an excellent opportunity for adults in all walks of life to make a difference in the life of a youth. In order for the program to be successful, the adult volunteer is asked to commit at lease two hours per month to visiting the child at the school. Many volunteers take a more active role and meet the child more often. The volunteers then spend time having lunch with their buddy and can opt to spend more time mentoring the student.

Mission Our Mission is to strengthen children's sense of self and relationships with others through compassionate adult mentoring based upon a one-on-one relationship.
