Become a LUNCH BUDDY!
A new addition to School Based Mentoring, Lunch Buddies allows Big Brothers and Sisters and Little Brothers and Sisters to meet once a week during their assigned school lunch period. Matches will meet typically about 40-50 minutes, depending on your school’s lunch and recess. At lunch time, matches eat together, play on the playground, swap stories, work on homework, or simply sit and talk, among other activities.
