How long does the Computer Buddy serve?
There is no set limit on how long a Computer Buddy should work with a foster child. However, because foster children have experienced repeated losses and rejection by adults, it is important to meet your commitments and promises to the foster child. Even though becoming a Computer Buddy does not require as extensive a commitment as becoming a mentor for the child, it is recommended that you personally meet with the child to say goodbye, if you need to resign as a Computer Buddy or be reassigned to another foster child. The foster family may greatly appreciate any help you can give in locating another Computer Buddy to take your place in the event that you must quit being a Computer Buddy for the foster child. If a new Computer Buddy can be recruited, then you may wish to introduce the foster child to his or her new Computer Buddy when you have your goodbye visit. What if the Computer Buddy learns of a problem the foster child is experiencing or wants to acknowledge progress with school
