Be a Buddy to those who need you most

Starting a new chapter in a foreign land can be tough, especially when it’s a result of war. The Buddy Program is here to make the transition easier and less isolating. You can make a difference by becoming a Buddy to a Ukrainian who is in need of support, guidance, and friendship. You can assist them with practical matters such as learning the Danish language, culture, and navigating bureaucracy, as well as providing emotional support. You can be a friend in a foreign land and make a real impact in someone’s life.

Choose your role and change lives in your own way

As a Buddy, you and your Ukrainian counterpart will work together to set meaningful goals, activities, and the time you spend together to ensure that you both get the most out of the experience. Being a Buddy is an opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life. You can be a supportive friend, a wise advisor, a knowledgeable teacher, or simply a great companion. The potential for meaningful connections is endless, and it all depends on what you both are interested in. By becoming a part of the Buddy Program today, you can start making a difference in someone’s life right away.
