Testimonial

“I am an advocate of education and mentoring – The Buddy Program embodies both. My son moved to Aspen from New York while I was assigned to a post in London. Though we spent good portions of the summer together, the rest of the year I was only with him once every six weeks for a weekend. His mother signed him up for the Buddy Program and soon he had a mentor whom he trusted and grew with. Ryan, his Big Buddy, was an athlete like Carson and a sensitive, nurturing soul. Carson found confidence, enthusiasm, and a big brother with whom he could share his experiences. He did well in school. He excelled on the athletic fields. And most importantly, he had consistent male-bonding and confidence that helped him find himself and be happy.”
