The Family Works Buddy Programme contributes to the emotional and social wellbeing of children by matching them with carefully selected and trained adult volunteers in a well-supported mentoring relationship. The programme matches children aged 5-11 years with couples or individuals who share similar interests and experiences to have fun together on a weekly/ fortnightly basis through zero (or low) cost activities. The programme has been successfully operating in Otago for over 30 years and is focused on enhancing children's lives with friendship, fun, encouragement and positive attitudes/experiences. Adult Buddy volunteers are quick to express the importance of the programme, and the difference it makes within a young person’s life.
Adult Buddies are all ages and have a range of interests and experiences to share. Prospective Buddy volunteers attend an initial training course which covers topics such as communication skills, guidelines and how to build a relationship with the Young Buddy. Ongoing support and supervision are given to all Adult Buddies. The Buddy Programme is run throughout Otago, including Alexandra and Cromwell, Wanaka and Hawea. If you feel/know you can make a positive difference in the life of a young person in your community, please contact local coordinator Sharon Bell on 021 223 2265. You can email buddywanaka@psotago.org.nz for more details or to register for our information evening in Wanaka on 21 March 2023.
