EMEID Alumni Buddy Program

"*" indicates required fields

The purpose of the Buddy Program is to pair current EMEID participants with EMEID alumni. Buddies will be selected based on alignment with participants' goals for the program year. If selected to be a Buddy, you will be notified in January and commit to meeting with your assigned participant at January State Council and throughout the second half of their program year, from February to May.

Your application will be reviewed to determine eligibility and alignment with the current program year's needs. Please note that if you are not selected for the 2026-2027 EMEID Program year, you may be a stronger fit for a future EMEID Program cohort.

Why do you want to be a Buddy for the EMEID program?*

What year did you participate in the EMEID program?*

Are you an elected State Council delegate or liaison (in other words, are you funded to attend State Council)?*

What is something that you wish you knew going into the EMEID program?*

The Buddy term would be a 6 month commitment for the EMEID program year. Do you have any commitments that would prevent you from being available for your Buddy at least once a month?*

Ideally, the Buddy relationship would continue beyond the EMEID program year. Would you be willing to continue to support your Buddy?*

What skills and experiences do you have that would make you a good buddy?*

Is there anything else you would like to add or share with us? (Write N/A if leaving blank)*

Please share with us your experiences that could help us match you with a Buddy (i.e., teaching, union, legislative, personal).*
