My Buddy Bench Project

Who We Are

We are a nonprofit. 

We're on a Mission to help bring kindness & empathy to children in elementary schools and public spaces, by helping install Buddy Benches and spreading act of Kindness.

A Buddy Bench is placed on a school playground to help promote a safe space where children may sit if they need a friend by their side. The bench is a tool to spread awareness and prevent bullying. The bench encourages kids to be a Buddy, by spreading kindness and building friendships. Along with the Buddy Bench we collaborate with a national nonprofit called Doing Good Together and mental health specialist at Monarch All Health, to bring resources for both school children and their parents.

"We want to make it easier for schools & communities to be able to adopt & install a Buddy Bench and find resources to spread acts of kindness and the message of anti-bullying.

The “My Buddy Bench Project Foundation” is a non-profit created by a kid and her mom who want to encourage communities to work together to create a kinder future for our children.
