Bearcat Buddies

Bearcat Buddies tutor children in Cincinnati Public Schools in partnership with GRAD Cincinnati, Queen City Book Bank, and Cincinnati Public Schools.

Bearcat Buddies is a signature program of the Center for Community Engagement (CCE), in partnership with GRAD Cincinnati, Queen City Book Bank, and Cincinnati Public Schools. We work with students in Cincinnati from grades K - 12 for about an hour a week, tutoring in school subjects like math, reading and more. 

The CCE supports Bearcat Buddies by:

• Providing transportation to partner schools where tutoring takes place.
• Arranging on-campus and on-site tutor training.
• Facilitating the required background checks.
• Providing ongoing support throughout the year.
