The Buddy-Up Program™ involves partnering with local community representatives such as first-responders and industry professionals (police/sheriffs, firefighters, EMTs, Nurses, etc.), to provide mentorship to our exceptional students. This partnership benefits both the students and the community representative. The students will be able to form a friendship with a role model, while the community representative will get first-hand insights to experiencing life through the lens of students with varying physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. Our Buddy-Up Program™ will include a variety of interactive activities including a day on the job, social engagement, community service project … to name a few. Each undertaking is designed with the intent to provide opportunities to positively impact the students, while also encouraging public safety officers and community representatives to become involved and be sensitized to the world view of students on the autism spectrum. The Buddy-Up Program™ has the power to positively impact both our students and the volunteers supporting this program … and by extension, our community at large.
The Buddy-Up Program™ consists of a 4-month session partnering Exceptional students with a community representative, industry professional, or student mentor providing structured experiences that foster foundations of integrity, honor, accountability, and aid in promoting precautions for situational awareness through the lens of the Exceptional student.
