Volunteers
M&T Bank’s longstanding partnership with Westminster Community Charter School and the Children’s Academy is a testament to their commitment to revitalizing education through the transformative power of education.
Our volunteers help to continue that mission through hands-on service that helps create safe and vibrant spaces for our students to continuously learn and grow.
Thanks to the strong partnership between M&T Bank and the schools we support, we have dedicated volunteers who donate their time, energy, and talents to enrich the lives of students at both Westminster Community Charter School and the Children’s Academy. These individuals play a vital role in setting up young learners for success so they can reach their fullest potential. During the 2024-2025 academic year, Buffalo Promise Neighborhood welcomed 97 unique volunteers who completed a total of 240 hours at our schools.
An integrated part of our schools, volunteers work side-by-side with teachers, students, families and our community. Buffalo Promise Neighborhood volunteers come from throughout Western New York and are M&T Bank employees, community members, past students, corporate citizens, and college students.
