The Lunch Buddy Program matches volunteers with students who would benefit from weekly one-on-one interaction with an adult. This program focuses on the social support of students in elementary schools. Volunteers meet with their Buddy during the child's lunch period. Lunch Buddies eat, play games and talk about what's happening that week. Help boost a child's self esteem and volunteer today! We ask volunteers to commit to one hour a week through the end of the school year. Lunch buddies are especially needed beginning March 1st, 2017. You will look forward to seeing your lunch buddy as much as they look forward to seeing you! This is a great way for groups of people that work full time to volunteer. Lunch buddies are together for about 45 minutes, so it allows those who work full time to participate during their lunch hour.
