Book Buddies is a program that is run by The United Way of
Cayuga County, in partnership with the Auburn Enlarged City School District.
With our Book Buddies program, 2nd grade students are partnered
with vetted community members for the academic school year. During this time
our volunteers read with students during their lunch period
utilizing books from the school library, while engaging in meaningful
conversations. The mission of our program is to promote a life-long love of
reading, exploration and learning through books, and an opportunity for
youth mentorship.
