Just 30 Minutes a Week
The success of Reading Buddies is dependent upon having enough volunteers to assist students at each of our participating schools. Ideally, a volunteer is paired with a student while he or she is in kindergarten. It's particularly helpful when the Reading Buddy is able to continue with that student as he or she progresses through the first and second grades.
Our hope is that 90% of all students enter the third grade reading on grade level. You can help with this lofty goal by giving just 30 minutes a week of your time. No special skills are needed. You simply need to be prepared to have a positive interaction with a young child. Many volunteers enjoy it so much that they participate with more than one student.

Volunteer
Volunteer now by completing and submitting the form below. A Reading Buddies representative will then contact you to get started. We'll take care of the background check, which is required by law. Then, after a one-hour training session, you'll be ready to meet your Reading Buddy. If you have questions about becoming a volunteer, please contact Kay Ward via email or phone at (423) 652-9251.
