    Description

    Love kids? Love reading? Volunteer with Read Better Be Better! (Phoenix Area Opportunity)

    We’re gearing up for our fall after-school program and need all hands on deck! Join us as we kick off the new academic year and help students build the reading skills that shape their future.

    Older youth leaders work one-on-one with younger readers, and you’ll help make it all possible-assisting at program sites, helping with setup, and stepping in where needed so every child gets the support they deserve.

    Why volunteer?

    • Make a direct impact on children’s reading growth.
    • Be part of a fun, mission-driven team.
    • Training and ongoing staff support provided-you won’t be on your own.

    Details:

    Locations vary: Schools across the greater Phoenix area.

    Commitment: Minimum ~3 months (Sept-Dec) a program runs 2 afternoons a week (Mon-Thurs), 2 hours each day after school. Your schedule is flexible within that timeframe!

    Please reach out for further details, we want to hear from you!
