LUNCH BUDDIES
Lunch Buddies is a mentoring program where volunteers join a student for lunch at school, one time per week. Lunch Buddies eat lunch, talk, play games, hang out, work on homework, or take walks around the playground. The meetings only take place on school grounds. All interaction between children and mentors is overseen by Big Brothers Big Sisters’ professional staff to ensure child safety, and coach mentoring matches through difficult situations.
