Azura Literacy's virtual reading tutor program pairs volunteers with elementary kids who are behind grade level in reading 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 interactive tools to help kids read independently and listen to read-alouds. Many of our students are Spanish-speaking, and their parents would like assistance helping them read in English. We are in need of more tutors who are bilingual in English/Spanish. This program is virtual, so volunteers can serve from anywhere! Volunteer requirements:
- at least 18 years old
- Bilingual in English/Spanish
- have access to a computer and reliable, high-speed internet connection
- proficient in use of web browsers/navigating multiple tabs, using Zoom meetings/screen sharing/annotation tools

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.
