For 25 years, DARTS Learning Buddies Program has served Dakota County communities by connecting community members with elementary students to work together on classwork, share experiences, and learn from one another for 1-2 hours each week throughout the school year.
Learning Buddies has grown from a single school in 1997 to over 47 school partnerships in Dakota, Scott, and Ramsey Counties. This intergenerational program has served nearly 75,000 students and logged more than 113,000 volunteer hours. But students in your community still need your help.
