Study Buddies – After School Buddies

Study Buddies Serve Foster Families

October 23, 2023

Buddies from 2023, family members and friends worked together to fill darling handmade tote bags with birthday party supplies for families serving as resource (foster) families. We gathered under the ASB tent at Char’s house to sort, fill and decorate 26 tote bags for youngsters and teens in the tri-county area. Birthday bags will be delivered by case managers/social workers to bring cheer and encouragement to those sharing their homes with kids needing care.

After the bag filling project, volunteers were treated to lunch, fall crafts and games. The time went fast – too fast – as we celebrated serving others and reuniting with our friends from last years.

Volunteer Opportunity for Spring 2023

March 31, 2023

After School Buddies is in search of a couple of more female Big Buddy mentors to serve our group of 3rd grade girls for the spring term of Study Buddies. We’d love to find 1-2 adult women and 2 high school girls to join us on Wednesday afternoons from 2:30-5:00 until May 31st.

Study Buddies meets at Antioch Church across the street from Bend High School. The program includes lessons on social and emotional skill development, tutoring time for academic success and community and family outreach projects. Adult volunteers must pass a background check. The program meets upstairs so mobility is important.
