Dependable Friends for Youngsters in Need BuddyKnit connects and fuels opportunity for young people across Florida to engage in meaningful connections and growth across societal and community barriers. Who We Are At BuddyKnit we are determined to uplift and support students of all backgrounds through relatable peer connection. Were helping to develop equal access to traditional forms of academic support in the most critical years of a students life. Peers provide the support in need rather than an adult alleviating concerns of the mentor being intimidating to the student while creating an air of relatability especially for ones that have experienced the trauma of child abuse and separation from loved ones.
