Baylor Buddies Application

Baylor Buddies Application 2009-2010

Baylor Buddies is a mentoring program in which Baylor students reach out to at-risk children in the Waco Community. The children that you will be working with in the program range from Kindergarten-8th grade. You will be assigned to one specific student and be paired with him or her for the entire school year. You will be expected to meet with your buddy for one hour a week at their school location. Please be sure that you have transportation to get to and from the school. If you are carpooling with someone please indict that so that we can place you at the same school. At each visit you will be expected to talk with the student, play games, read to them, help them with homework, or anything else that would benefit you and the child’s relationship. Please be aware of the commitment you are making to this child before returning the application. We look forward to a great year!!!
