Who Are After School Buddies?

After School Buddies is a multi-generational program serving teens and students in Central Oregon. ASB meets weekly after school with teen boys or girls serving as mentors to elementary students of the same gender. A middle school program is also available.
This program is uniquely successful due to its focus on tri-generational mentoring and leadership development. Relationship building, study skills, exercise and nutrition discussions and activities, arts and crafts, along with community service projects are all foundations of this faith-based organization.
After School Buddies is a religious non-profit corporation registered with the State of Oregon. It is faith based program but does not restrict participation to any one denomination, church, or organization.
