Azura Literacy's virtual reading tutor program pairs volunteers with underserved elementary kids to help improve their reading skills and instill a love of reading. Volunteers read with students one-on-one on Zoom, sharing digital children's books and materials to help kids read independently and listen to read-alouds.
This program is virtual, so volunteers can serve from anywhere!
Volunteer requirements:
- at least 18 years old
- have basic computer skills (use of internet, Zoom, and web browsers)
- have a laptop or desktop computer and solid internet connection
- pass a background check/fingerprint clearance
- pass a literacy screening
- interview with the program director
- attend a multi-day virtual training session
- available to commit to at least one hour per week (split into two 30-minute sessions)
- available to commit to at least one semester (12-15 weeks in Fall, Spring, or Summer)
During the school year, our reading sessions are on Mondays/Wednesdays or Tuesdays/Thursdays every half hour between 3:30pm-6:30pm.
During the summer, reading sessions are Mon/Thurs, Tues/Fri, or Wed/Sat between 10am-7pm.
If you are interested in joining us, contact our program director at allyse.hazeltine@azuracares.org or (480) 834-2117.

MESA VETERANS RESOURCE CENTER provides comprehensive support services to veterans and their families. The MVRC provides resources and referrals to assist in various areas including benefits claims, employment, mental health, and homelessness.
