Peer Buddies vs Associate Buddies:

You get to participate in our chapter events such as the mall trip, thanksgiving feast, field day, talent show, etc… Be a role model in our school.
Associate – Not matched 1:1, but needs to come to our mandatory monthly general meetings, as well as attend one mandatory lunch per month (typically done during our monthly activity!). Should attend Spread the Word to End the Word, Talent Show, Friendship Ball, Friendship Walk, etc…) Volunteer and spread acceptance and inclusion throughout our school.
