‘Best Buddies’ Program Kicks Off for Second Year

For the second year, students from Bais Rivkah High School are pairing up with girls enrolled in Nigri Shluchim Online School in an initiative dubbed “Best Buddies” to connect, make friends, and learn together with weekly video or phone calls.

Best Buddies of the Nigri Shluchim Online School which pairs its students with Bais Rivkah High School students, kicks off with a volunteer welcome program.

Seeing the need for connection and friendship for many girls who live on Shlichus around the world, Best Buddies was launched pairing Nigri Shluchim Online School students with Bais Rivkah High School students.

The girls arrange weekly video calls or phone calls to either learn together, do an activity, or just chat. So many real connections have been forged, with the girls keeping in touch with each other all the time and even arranging meeting up in Crown Heights. 

Over 60 high school volunteers were treated to their very own night of fun with a get to know you game, good food and a special thank you gift to each one. 

“After last year’s success, it’s so exciting to launch this program for a second year,” shared Rochel Goldman, programming director. “The program really impacts the high school and Shluchim Online School students, they form true bonds and real friendships.”
