Hut, Hut, HIKE! Become a Reading Coach today!

Help Kids Discover the Joy of Reading and Improve Their Literacy Skills!

Volunteer reading coaches are the core of our after-school youth literacy program, HIKE (Help Instill the Key to Education). As a HIKE volunteer, you'll work one-on-one with students in grades K-8 who are working hard to improve their reading skills. In just one hour, you can help a child gain confidence, succeed in school, and see new possibilities for their future.

You don't need any teaching experience. We'll provide the training, lesson plans, and activities. All you need to bring is yourself!

Details:

• Reading labs are Monday-Thursday with two different sessions each day, one at 4:30 and one at 5:15
• You choose your own shifts; we're flexible!
• Training, materials, and ongoing support provided

Steps for Getting Started:
