SLU Buddies is a school-based mentoring program
with Canton and St. Lawrence Central Schools whereby SLU
mentors are matched with Canton Central elementary and middle
school-aged children based on interests, needs and desires.
Mentors help with homework, play in structured activities,
talk about everyday happenings, listen to concerns, and serve
as role models, friends... buddies!
Buddies meet one day a week for a minimum of
1 hour at the schools, for a required 2-semester commitment.
The day/time of meeting will be pre-arranged and parents/teachers
will be notified.
A SLU van is available to take volunteers to
the school site during their afterschool hours. Volunteers
who want a more flexible schedule will need to arrange for
their own transportation.
