"Boba" Buddies is our Youth Program where Asian/Asian American students K-12 can join us for programming once a month. The Boba Buddies program is run under our Health and Wellness program in an effort to build protective factors for young Asian and Asian American kids as part of our mental health programs. These protective factors include community and cultural identity building. We hope that Asian/Asian American kids will develop these protective factors so that they are less likely to have mental health issues as they get older. The program will include directed activities and games and a communal space for Asian/Asian American kids and their parents to hang out. We will provide after school snacks and some months will have special guests!
Volunteers will be asked to assist with crafts, set up/clean up, dispensing of boba and monitoring snacks. We tend to bring in families with young children and so assisting with little kids is very likely.
