Breakfast Buddy

Make a child's day and give yourself a weekly perk by eating breakfast with a student or a small group of students in the school cafeteria one day a week. You'll make a difference in a child's life and yours. Schools: Elementary and Middle School.

Lunch Buddy
If you can't make breakfast, eat lunch in the school cafeteria with an individual student or group of students during their lunch period. After lunch, there is time for recess, a board game or to read a book together. One lunch a week is all it takes! Schools: Elementary and Middle School.

Academic Tutor
Work with a student who needs extra attention in reading, math, writing, science, social studies, or computers. Flexible hours and lifetime benefits! School: Elementary.

Mentor
Have fun getting to know a student through a variety of activities including sharing a hobby, working on an assignment, playing a game or sport, or just "hangin' out." Time with a positive adult role model is something kids ask for over and over again. A mentor is a friend and a good listener and helps build the self-confidence students need to succeed in school. School: Elementary.

Reading Buddy
Read to a student(s) or listen to a student(s) read. You'll be amazed at the progress a child makes. School: Elementary.
