In addition to having an accessible educational health resource, many of the students developed a relationship with the volunteer. This is a novel and important experience to children who would not normally have the opportunity to meet a physician outside of an exam room. One student commented that " the biggest surprise to me was that I never thought that someone would spend so much time with us."

Adopt-A-School Program volunteers also have many positive comments about their experience. Volunteers find that the program is meaningful because they are helping children. One volunteer felt that the satisfaction in the classroom setting was immediate - "you feel the energy, gratitude and sense of accomplishment when you use creative techniques to impart knowledge of how to protect and promote good health."
