Since 2016, JYOC has been running a Buddy System to build relationships and role models between younger and older members of our Jain society's youth. Younger Jains (ages 7-12) and JYOC members (ages 13-19) participate in events with each other, and spend time getting to know each other. Through this partnership, younger Jains will be introduced to older role models and friends who they can look up to. They can ask questions and receive advice whether it be about leading a Jain life in our area, doing well in school, etc.

First Buddy Event
Date: May 7, 2017
During this introductory event, the little buddies and big buddies participated in a Scavenger Hunt and game in order to find out who their buddy was. Once they met their buddy, we played various icebreakers and games in order to have pairs to get to know each other. The event was a creative and fun way to begin the Buddy System!
