Gustie Buddies

Make a meaningful difference in a child's life.

Gustie Buddies is a mentorship program that pairs Â鶹ÊÓƵ students and youth with developmental delays from St. Peter and the surrounding communities to provide a safe environment for youth with developmental delays to strengthen personal skills, increase self confidence and build relationships. This will happen through positive and compassionate relationships with Â鶹ÊÓƵ students who are committed to promoting growth in understanding of themselves and others through dynamic and intentional programming.

Activities & Events

 

We plan activities for college students and their buddies to spend time together doing things. These include campus visits, games, outdoor activities, seasonal events, and community service projects. Our goal is to make a positive difference in children’s lives while helping students develop important mentoring skills.

 

Meetings & Time Commitment

 

Mentors usually meet with their buddy once a week or every two weeks. There are also group events and special activities during the semester. You’ll have training sessions to help you learn how to be a good mentor. Support is available throughout the program to make sure it’s a great experience for everyone.
