GrandPals volunteer

GrandPals read to children in kindergarten in the Princeton schools. Each GrandPal is paired with one or two children for the entire school year. We read once a week for 30 minutes in the school library or classrooms during the school day. A strong inter-generational bond is built between the children and the GrandPal volunteer.

Please Note: We are currently taking applications for the school year beginning September 2024.
