Our Volunteers will provide mentoring services for students from grades K-3rd grade. The emphasis of their work revolves around improving literacy skills which will be crucial for their development as early as the 4th Grade. Students that do not achieve literacy will be 4 times as likely to fall out of high school, so volunteers are in high demand! No prior education is necessary, only the ability to commit to 2-3 hours per week, as well as pass a light background check . Make a difference in someone's life today!
