Do you want to make a difference in the life of a child?
Join our AARP Experience Corps volunteers and help children become great readers by end of third grade.
Volunteers work one on one with young elementary school students, helping them become better readers by using a structured session and materials provided by the program.
Volunteers will be helping kids practice reading fluently via a virtual platform in 2021-22 school year.
Volunteer 5 - 10 hours a week over several days.
No experience is needed - just a desire to make a difference, and a love of children! We provide dynamic and interactive training, materials and full support. Stipends are available.
