Buddy International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping
educate and mentor schoolchildren via a pen pal relationship between professional
truck drivers and children in grades 2-8. Trucker Buddy matches classes
of students with professional truck drivers. Every week drivers share news
about their travels with their class. Once a month, students write letters
to their drivers. Students' skills in reading, writing, geography, mathematics,
social studies, and history are enhanced and learning is fun. Since 1992,
Trucker Buddy has helped educate over a million schoolchildren and introduced
them to caring, compassionate men and women, professional truck drivers.
