The mission

What this organization describes

Inspire. Empower. Mentor.

Founded in 1989, the Buddy Program empowers youth through mentoring experiences in order to achieve their full potential. For over 40 years, the Buddy Program has been pairing qualified mentors with young people referred to the program. In response to increased demand for services, the Buddy Program extended one-on-one mentoring and implemented additional benefits for participating youth, including therapeutic counseling, scholarships for extra-curricular activities and continuing education, and connecting youth and their families with other agencies as necessary.
