Change a life: Volunteer |
|
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization! Whether you're interested in working as a reading coach, a reading buddy, or an organization volunteer, we welcome you to visit us and learn more about us.
R2S Reading Coaches undergo comprehensive literacy training. They work one-to-one twice weekly with his/her assigned student.
Here's what one coach says: "The rewards are so much greater than any sacrifice of time on my part. It's vitally important that these kids become proficient readers, and the process has enriched my life." Reading Coach Training
Reading Coach training combines classroom sessions with practicums (where trainees work with students twice a week) over a 10 week period. Our next coach training session will begin in January 2019. View our winter training dates here! |
A Reading Buddy meets once weekly with his or her student for a full school year. This intervention may be all a student needs to reach grade level proficiency.
Our Reading Buddies develop warm and encouraging relationships with their students, who are usually in Kindergarten or first grade. Reading Buddy Training Reading Buddies prepare with 9 hours of training. Our next reading buddy training session will begin in January 2019. View our winter training dates here! |
One-to-one literacy tutoring isn't for everyone. Maybe you believe in the R2S mission, but prefer to offer behind-the-scenes help.
We welcome volunteers with specific skill sets to help in critical areas like communications, event planning, office assistance and technology. |
