Study Buddy works to foster basic skills and a love of learning among children who are struggling. Since 1998, the program has been placing volunteer tutors in schools and community programs throughout greater Seattle. Volunteers spend a minimum of one hour each week with students, working on reading, writing, math, or basic study skills. Yet these “Study Buddies” share more than knowledge; through their actions they demonstrate compassion, commitment, and their own love of learning. In this way, the program embodies the Jewish value of tikkun olam — repair of the world — within the local community.
Study Buddy invites you to share your love of learning. Training and ongoing support are provided to all volunteers. Please contact the director for more information and a volunteer application.
