OABCIG Mentoring matches select high schoolers with elementary students who would benefit from the extra support and encouragement a high school 'buddy' can provide.  

It includes one on one 'matches' who meet once a week for half hour sessions from late fall through late April. The program goal is to help the ‘matches’ develop a friendship through activities, including get acquainted activities, games, crafts, and occasionally work on school work as needed by the mentee and recommended by the teacher.
