Healing from complex trauma takes more than just expert treatment and therapy; it takes people who care a lot...just like you!
Want to make a difference in the life of child? Become a Reading Buddy at The Children's Place!
It takes only a half hour a week (1-4 times per month) to give the gift of literacy and one-on-one attention to the children that we serve.
Buddies are needed Fridays at 2 p.m. Signing-up is easy! After your initial contact with the Volunteer Manager, a sign-up will be sent a few days prior to the reading day--show up and give the gift of reading!
