STUDY FRIENDS
The Study Friends program is designed to help middle school students improve their reading, writing, math, and homework skills by pairing them with a trained adult volunteer tutor. The students are usually referred to the program by their student counselor or teacher.
Study Friends is a program that matches volunteer tutors with middle school students who need help with their schoolwork. The volunteer tutors meet with students for 1-2 hours each week (excluding school holidays), to help students with their homework.
Study Friends help students’ communicate with teachers and raise confidence in the classroom. The Literacy Project matches students and tutors based on their schedules, interests and needs.
Below is the teacher referral form that is required in order to qualify for the Study Friends program. The form can be completed using the online form or by downloading the PDF.
