# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Learning Buddies Network: Bridging the Gap, One Child at a Time
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us to hear from Dr. Alisa Lipson, MD FRCPC, Founder and President of Learning Buddies Network, a Vancouver-based charity transforming lives through free one-to-one academic mentoring.

Thousands of children fall behind in reading and math; not for lack of potential, but lack of support. Working with trained high school and university mentors, elementary students build skills, confidence, and community. 

The Impact:
✔ 400+ children supported this year
✔ Nearly 10,000 mentoring sessions across BC
✔ Programs in schools, libraries, community centres, and online
✔ A dual-impact model: children gain academically; youth mentors gain leadership skills

Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome. No cost for guests exploring Rotary opportunities.
