This was an amazing experience, and a wonderful cause to be a part of. As someone who had been transitioned to part-time employment, I was very lucky to have the time to volunteer with JCY-WCP in their Reading Buddies After School AND Summer Reading Buddies program. It was one of the first instances where I felt that my volunteer work had a true impact on the kids I had been working with. I can't sing JCY-WCP's praises high enough; if you have the time and want to make a difference, then this is an incredible opportunity to give back.
