Lunch Buddies-Making lunch plans that makes a difference!

Open Opportunity

About

The scholars at Grizzlies Preparatory Charter School are huge fans of the Lunch Buddies program because it offers them the chance to attend lunch with local professionals (Male or Female). These middle school boys want to do well in school and need help navigating some of their life challenges. According to ACT scores, only 6% of Memphis boys are ready for college when they graduate.

One day of each week for 30 minutes could change the game for them. This program is so rewarding because it's flexible, simple and meaningful. Mentors are paired with two scholars in the same grade and visit them during their lunchtime.
