You can make a difference in a local student's life!
The LINKS Lunch Buddy program is looking for caring adults to meet for one hour, one day a week with students who need a little extra one-on-one time and support. Lunch Buddies spend the lunch hour in a pre-assigned area to eat, play games, make crafts, talk, and do other agreed-upon activities.
We ask Lunch Buddy mentors to commit for the school year (from the time you start to mid-June). The time depends on the age of the student but will be up to one hour somewhere between 11:30 and 1:00. There are lunch buddy programs in 15 elementary schools in Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish.
2 Hour Mentor training before you meet your buddy is required
Ongoing support, training, and resources are provided:
