Student Studio
Student Studio is an after-school program run by university students that brings art education to Boston public schools and community centers, especially to those who would not otherwise have access. Through fun and entertaining art lessons, we hope [...]to encourage and promote the importance of art in today’s world.
Student Studio is about more than arts and crafts. It’s an outlet for creative expression and cultural experience for the children and college students that participate. This program provides University volunteers the opportunity to form mentoring relationships with their students while learning about art history and developing creative thinking and artistic skills. It also gives BU volunteers the chance to truly get involved with the Boston community and take a step outside the classroom to learn about the people, places, and culture of our city.

Siblings
Siblings is one of the CSC’s longest running programs, and has been working with the Winship Elementary school for 22 years. Siblings is a one-on-one mentoring program that matches BU students (Big Sibs) with children between the ages of 6 and [...]12 (Little Sibs). This year, we had a record 200 Little Sibs apply. We have thus extended the deadline to make sure that every child has a Big Sib!
The program gives children the opportunity to spend time with college students, who serve as positive role models and good friends.
