Read With Me Volunteer Programs
To work with public schools that have a high concentration of children living in poverty and/or homes where no English is spoken and/or parental education is lacking. These geographic areas have few parents who can help in the classroom and give educational support to their children. We recruit educated, mature volunteers to work under the direction of the teacher. The teacher designates which children need help and provides the appropriate materials for them. The child reads to the volunteer, while the volunteer assist with comprehension and pronunciation.
