    Help young readers in Sacramento grow their confidence and love for reading! As a Volunteer Reading Tutor, you’ll work with 1st–3rd grade students in fun, structured 1:1 or small-group sessions using a curriculum we provide. No teaching experience needed—just patience, kindness, and a passion for helping kids thrive.

    • Support early readers with guided activities and read-alouds
    • Encourage and motivate students as a consistent, caring mentor
    • Follow simple lesson routines and track attendance
    • Join a friendly team and receive all training and materials

    Commitment: 4–6 hours per week, 2 days a week during the school year.
