Buddy Break is a monthly respite care program for families of children with special needs.
Our event is typically held on the third Saturday morning of each month with the exception of February when we hold a nighttime event to provide our families with a Valentine’s date night.
We are able to take children ages 3-18 who have been previously registered with Nathaniel’s Hope. All new families must attend a one-time parent orientation that lasts approximately one hour.
Looking for a way to volunteer? We are always welcoming new Buddies for our children and hold several trainings throughout the year. The training lasts 90 minutes and allows prospective volunteers to see the program in action. Screening for all Buddies includes a background check.
Please contact Julie Brown, our Buddy Break Coordinator, at brownie618@aol.com with any questions or to sign up for events.
