Lunch Buddies program requires volunteers to commit how much time per month?

• A. A full day
• B. An hour or two
• C. 5 hours weekly
• D. 30 minutes daily

Answer: (A)

A full day per month is the time commitment being asked for because this program aims for consistent, meaningful mentorship. Spending a full day each month ensures volunteers are regularly present, can build a stable relationship with the students, and can participate in the scheduled lunch activities without rushing or frequent interruptions. Shorter time blocks—like a couple of hours, weekly hours, or a small daily slice—don’t meet the monthly requirement and can lead to fragmented sessions that don’t support ongoing mentoring or continuity. So the option that matches a full day each month best reflects the program’s intended level of participation and impact.
