Children enrolled in grades 1-5 for the 2013-2014 school year can sign up to be paired with a Teen Buddy to work on reading or math skills.The Library will assign partners, and the parent and teen volunteer will set a mutually agreeable schedule. We recommend weekly one-hour meetings.
Meetings must take place inside The Library.
This program runs for 20 consecutive weeks, beginning with the date that you are notified of your child's acceptance. Students are limited to completing one 20-week session within a 12-month period unless there is no waiting list.
Completing this form does not guarantee immediate placement in the program. You will be notified when we have a spot for your child.
Kid Buddies will be assigned to Teen Buddies on a first come, first served basis, as the availability of Teen Buddies permits and with priority enrollment granted to struggling students who are referred to the program by their schools.
