What: Lawrence Assistance Reaching Youth (LARY) Buddies are matched with Edison Elementary students to provide them with extra help and support both in and out of the classroom. As a LARY Buddy, you can do everything from working on homework, to playing games, to attending class with your mentee.
When: One hour each week at a time decided upon by you, your Buddy, your Buddy's teacher and parents.
Where: Edison Elementary, only four blocks North of campus on Meade St.
Who: As a LARY Buddy, you will be mentoring elementary students who are in need of extra help due to familial difficulties, learning disabilities or social problems.
Why: The children enrolled in the LARY Buddy program need special attention from a Lawrence student like you. Your guidance and support will make a difference in the lives of these kids.
