The Boost program of School's cool Nijmegen & Region.

 What is the Boost Program?

School's cool Nijmegen & Region pairs students in grade 2 and above who are enrolled by the high school in our Boost program with a volunteer mentor. The mentor provides the mentee with extra support in the area he/she needs. In this way, mentee and mentor together increase the likelihood of a successful college career.

Mentor and student meet weekly at home or at school for customized guidance. This may include, for example, planning homework, self-confidence or motivation. And, of course, there is also room for fun things. 

Sometimes school doesn't go well for a while. You forget your books, often do not finish your homework, or your grades are insufficient. It is important that you regain control of your schoolwork. A mentor from School's cool can help you make a plan of action and strengthen your study skills. Even if you don't have such good contact with classmates and teachers, the mentor can think along with you. Anything related to school can be discussed. You are the boss!

If you like it, you can also occasionally do something fun like play soccer, go to the library or visit a museum. Your mentor can possibly help you find a fun hobby or sport. Because that too is important for your school results.

Important: Only if you like it and want it too will we pair a mentor with you!
