Help grow students' reading skills during the school day! Become a Reading Buddy!

Reading Buddies are a key part of our programs and provide the essential reading comprehension assistance to a student once a week. As a Reading Buddy, you will help a child develop their comprehension skills through reading high-quality literature to them. Above all, you will be a positive role model who encourages them and makes reading fun!

Why we need YOU: In 2023, 43 percent of third graders in Dallas County were reading on level according to Dallas education advocacy coalition, Commit. Readers 2 Leaders needs your help to increase the number of students reading at or above grade level by reading to students, one-on-one or in small groups.

When and where can I volunteer: We have Reading Buddies spots available Monday-Tuesday in our In-School Programs during the school day (9am-3pm, 30 minute sessions). Volunteers commit to attending weekly sessions for at least a semester.

• The two schools we serve are located within or close to West Dallas
