Volunteer to Help Children Learn to Read w/Project Helping

Save to Favorites

Make an impact on the life of a child who struggles with their reading! Join us for a one-on-one tutoring experience with students enrolled in the Reading Partners program at Dora Moore School who are reading 1 month to 2.5 years behind grade level.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

Project Helping volunteers will participate in a 1 hour for welcome and tutor training with a member of the Reading Partners team to review the Reading Partners evidence-based reading curriculum and how to work with the kids. This training is followed by one-on-one tutoring sessions with elementary school students. As space is limited, make sure to register before participating in this great event!
