Reading Partners is currently recruiting volunteers for Central Seattle Schools located in the 98122 area.
Central Seattle students need your help!
Reading Partners, an education nonprofit that mobilizes community volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring to struggling elementary student readers, is in great need of volunteer tutors to serve our students in Central Seattle. This is a new school partnership for the 2019-2020 school year, and we want to ensure the best possible start for our students!
With your help, we can equip students with the foundational skills they need to read at grade level. Each week, you will meet one-on-one with your student to help them develop strong literacy skills and discover a passion for reading. We'll provide a structured curriculum, in-person training, and ongoing support to help your student thrive. Rigorous research has proven that Reading Partners significantly increases reading proficiency.
No teaching experience is necessary and we only ask that volunteers commit an hour per week and be at least 14 years of age. Flexible Monday to Thursday volunteer times between 9 am and 2 pm.

Description
Reading Partners is a national education nonprofit that partners with students, their families, schools, and communities to provide students with individualized literacy support and the foundational skills they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. We do this by training community volunteers to deliver one-on-one, literacy lessons, using our structured and easy to follow, evidence-based curriculum. Volunteer tutoring happens in-person via our Reading Partners Traditional program and virtually via our Reading Partners Connects program. Programming varies by region. We currently serve twelve regions, nationwide: Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, North Texas, Tulsa, Twin Cities, South Carolina, Washington DC, Baltimore, and New York.
