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.
