Program Description

Our School Friends program invites volunteers to spend time with a child at his or her school. School Friends is about building relationships and forming friendships. The program is not academically focused; you may play games, eat lunch together or simply hang out. In just a short amount of time each week, you can communicate to the child how special and important he or she is. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. A minimum commitment of four semesters is required.
