The very popular Lunch Buddy Program is provided in the elementary schools by The Future Begins Today. Students are paired with adult volunteers who come to the schools once a month and eat lunch with their “buddy”.  Often the adult buddy takes a more active role and becomes a positive and encouraging person to help the student succeed in school.

Many of the volunteers continue the mentoring outside the lunch room.  Volunteers have coached students with science fair projects, given tennis lessons, played basketball, gone to movies, helped with homework projects, assisted Brownie troop, and walked in the Strawberry Festival Parade with them.
