What is the role of a buddy?

 

The role of a buddy is to enable their veteran gets the most out of the ski week. This includes:

• Meeting their veteran in the morning

• Making sure their vet has everything they need for the day

• Ensure their veteran is comfortable with the plan for the day and where they need to be and when

• Ensuring their vet gets on the bus up the mountain on time

• Spend the day skiing with their vet

• In the evenings, making sure they know where they need to be and at what time

• Supporting them throughout the week and making sure they are happy

• Overall assisting with the smooth running of the week

 

What we look for in a buddy?

 

• Strong listening skills

• Empathetic and compassionate

• Self aware and proactive

• Enjoys helping others and bring out the best in people

• Able to fundraise

• Fun!
