ASB started the new program “Study Buddies” last spring after a long hiatus due to the pandemic. We are so happy to tell you that it’s back for 2023!! IT’S TIME TO ENROLL YOUR DAUGHTER NOW!
Study Buddies is a new FREE program offered by After School Buddies (ASB) for girls in grades 2-6 who need encouragement with academics, improved confidence and/or self-care. Study Buddies volunteers are committed to helping young girls socially, emotionally and academically become strong, resilient and confident young women. Each child enrolled will be partnered with mentors (“Big Buddies”) and will spend time with girls (“Little Buddies”) similar in age. Girls will be engaged in homework and academic skills support accompanied by time spent developing social and emotional skills through a variety of fun, interactive conversations and games. Community service projects will also be included!
PARENTS OF GIRLS GRADES 2-6…there are two sessions of Study Buddies on Wednesdays to choose between – either from 1-3 pm or 3-5 pm. We meet at Antioch Church across the street from Bend High School. The program is FREE!!! – just sign up your child and get her to the session weekly.
Programs sessions are limited to 6 “Little Buddies” in each session so don’t delay in reserving a spot for your child. Complete the linked Study Buddies Enrollment Form to enroll your child. We will contact you to confirm processing of your child’s application.
ADULTS AND TEEN LADIES: We are currently training new adult and teen ladies to serve as mentors/ tutors to girls grades 2-6 on Wednesday afternoons from January 25-March 8th. Our terrific experiences last spring encouraged us to reach even more young girls and provide them with new social/emotional skills and academic support blended with FUN activities and even community service projects.
