    Description

    Volunteer Opportunity: Reading Coaches Needed (55+)

    Literations Incorporated is the Boston host to the national Experience Corps movement. Experience Corps seeks to mobilize the growing older adult population (age 55+) to make a difference in the lives of young people.

    Volunteers are needed to read with and mentor students at elementary schools and after-school programs throughout Dorchester, Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, South Boston, the South End, and Framingham.

    As Reading Coaches, volunteers read one-on-one with children in the second or third grade who are reading below grade level. They meet two to four times per week for 40-minute sessions during the school year.

    Other volunteer positions are also available. Please call (617) 778-0553 or email recruitment@literatons.org for details.
