Volunteer: Ignite Potential....be a Buddy!Being a Buddy is something that almost anyone can do. The only requirements are a willingness to make a new friend and a desire to share some fun with a young person. It may sound obvious, but sometimes the best place to help a child realize their potential is at school. Through the Buddy Program, site/school based mentoring program, volunteer Buddies spend one hour per week with a child in the site/school setting. Although it takes place at a site/school, the Buddy Program is not limited to the classroom. Some Little Buddies talk with their Big Buddy about class, do homework, or read together; while others shoot hoops in the gym, play on the playground, or play a board game. The program starts a friendship that provides guidance and inspires the Little Buddy to reach their potential. Improvements are seen in behavior, attendance, and academics. One year commitment Minimum of 15 years of age Resident of the area for 6 months High school or GED graduate (adults only) Driver’s License and Insurance Background Screening
