I do think having a wider social circle than just school is a good one.
When you think about it school is just a random bunch of kids put together whereas friends made through shared interests tend to talk about the shared interest primarily and bond over that.
I was involved with a local youth theatre as a teen . I'm in touch with several friends from that time forty odd years ago still but none of my school friends from that time.
I'd look at outside activities for both of them and broaden and upgrade the "friend pool".
