    Description

    Become a reading tutor and Make a difference!

    Little Village READS is a literacy initiative that pairs reading tutors with 1st through 3rd-grade students in the Little Village community. All of the students have been referred by their teachers for extra help outside the classroom, and they meet with tutors to work on building their reading skills. Tutors engage students in free reading, interactive games, and fun literacy activities.

    Spring Programming runs from January 5th through May 20th from 2:30-5:00pm (latest arrival 3:00PM). Monday through Thursdays. We are looking for volunteers who are able to commit to at least one day a week.

    If you are interested in being a tutor, we would love to hear from you! This is an excellent opportunity to gain some hands-on experience working with a fantastic group of kids!
