BECOMING A BUDDY
Your involvement as a buddy only requires one thing: having the desire to sincerely commit to helping someone achieve their full potential.
Buddies contribute to the fulfillment of their best buddy by providing a meaningful presence and support. The pairing is a person-to-person relationship based on reciprocity and friendship.
The selection process creates ideal matches based on shared interests and preferences. Pairings adhere to their agreement by meeting regularly for sports, cultural, social, or family activities, depending on their availability, for up to 5 hours per month.
If you are 18 years old or older, Parrainage Civique Montréal is always looking for volunteers like you who want to get involved and become a buddy.
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR VALUABLE VOLUNTEERS
"At first, we got involved for a noble cause. But to be honest, even though it might sound a bit cliché, I clearly feel that I gain more than I give. Sylvie is now a member of the family. She is a friend, a sister, our godchild, and it’s a blessing to have her in our family. Thank you, Sylvie!"
- Richard Depairon, buddy
Being Sylvain's buddy was one of the best decisions I made. Our friendship is simple, honest, and respectful! Each conversation teaches me more about his experiences, challenges, and story. With every discussion, I grow and learn more about who I am and who I want to become.
A wonderful human adventure filled with connection!
- Alexandra Morin, buddy
