WHAT WE DO     |       BOARD OF DIRECTORS     |     VOLUNTEER

Volunteers make all the difference! We are always looking for help with our programs and people who may want to join our board or a committee.

Right now we especially need One to One volunteer tutors. If you have 2 hours a week during school hours to read one-on-one with young students and a desire to make a difference in the lives of children in your community, the One to One children’s literacy program needs you.

One to One gives students the opportunity to practice their reading skills with a caring, patient adult. This one-on-one time increases their self-confidence, reading fluency and comprehension, and their chance of success at school and in life.

Tutors read with 3 students for 30 minutes each at a local elementary school once a week, for 10-12 weeks. They develop a relationship with their students and see them grow as readers. Many volunteer tutors feel it is the most rewarding volunteer experience.

Volunteers attend a 2-3 hour training session and a school orientation before their tutoring sessions begin. Training sessions will be offered in October. For more information, or to register, email literacymerritt@gmail.com or call 250.378.7844.
