Volunteer Opportunity description

Reading Partners connects passionate volunteers with struggling readers to help students strengthen their literacy skills, build confidence, and discover a passion for reading. You can be a mentor, a leader, and an educator with no prior experience in the classroom.

Be someone's hero.

Over the past decade, volunteers like you have helped more than 12,000 students become excellent readers using a structured, easy-to-use curriculum. Our volunteers become so much more than reading partners. By sharing their knowledge and experience, tutors become mentors, friends, and positive role models in the life of a child.

Have fun. Change a life.

Tutoring in the Reading Partners program makes a powerful impact in a child's life. Working one-on-one with a student is a fun, effective way to change someone's life—maybe your own.

What: Make a difference in the life of a child in your community by joining our team of committed reading tutors!

When: 1 hour each week can change a child's life. Centers typically operate Mondays-Thursdays, 9am- 5pm.
