The Study Buddy Program nurtures the self-esteem of girls by matching them with caring volunteers who offer them educational support and academic assistance.
With the support of a Study Buddy tutor, Little Sisters (ages 7-17) are encouraged and equipped to improve their educational performance and meet their academic goals, which contributes to their overall self-esteem.
Study Buddies meet for one hour once a week for a minimum of six months and tutoring sessions take place at a mutually agreeable location after school or on weekends.
We are in a high need for Coquitlam volunteers.
