Reading Buddies are a key part of our programs and provide the essential reading comprehension assistance to a student once a week. As a Reading Buddy, you will help a child develop their comprehension skills through reading high-quality literature to them. Above all, you will be a positive role model who encourages them and makes reading fun!
Why we need YOU: In 2022, 34 percent of third graders in Dallas county were reading on level according to Dallas education advocacy coalition Commit. Readers 2 Leaders needs your help to increase the number of students reading at or above grade level by reading to students, one-on-one or in small groups.
When and where can I volunteer: We have Reading Buddies spots available in our After-School program, Monday-Wednesday from 3:45-5:30pm. We also have spots available in our In-School program on Mondays from 8:30-2:30. Volunteers commit to attending weekly sessions for at least a semester.
