Study Buddy

As part of our Study Buddy program, we will pair you with a child who needs your help with academics. You will be responsible for meeting with that child for four hours a month to provide academic help, support, motivation, and more. With the support of We Stand For Kids throughout the entire process, you will be able to see your Study Buddy improve by being given access to an academic tracking tool.
