Summary: Study Buddy Program (rolling intake, apply anytime)
The Study Buddy Program nurtures the self-esteem of female, transgender, and non-binary children and youth (our Little Sisters) by matching them with a volunteer who offers them educational support which they otherwise cannot afford due to financial constraints.
With the support of a Study Buddy tutor, Little Sisters (ages 7-17) are encouraged and equipped to improve their educational performance and set appropriate academic goals which contributes to their overall confidence.
The Study Buddy program is a weekly one-to-one mentoring relationship for a minimum of a six month commitment that focuses on school work.
The program strives to do the following:
- Provide an academic role model to Little Sisters (ages 7-17)
- Increase educational performance
- Promote the importance of staying in school, increase school attendance
- Enhance educational goal setting
- Decrease disruptive behaviour in school
