Green Pathways to Success

My Buddy Bench Project is a nonprofit organization founded by a child and her mother, dedicated to promoting kindness and empathy among children in schools and public spaces through the installation of Buddy Benches. These designated seats serve as safe spaces for children seeking friendship, helping to combat bullying and foster inclusivity within communities. Co-founder Victoria Portela, inspired by her own experiences with social isolation and bullying, aims to create a kinder future for children by encouraging collaboration among communities. The project emphasizes the importance of kindness ambassadors who invite children on the bench to join activities, thereby promoting awareness and support within educational environments.
