Read with Me! Volunteer Opportunity

Join the Literacy Coalition to volunteer to read with students

Volunteers read one-to-one with kindergarten school students at nine (9) local schools throughout the county. The Literacy Coalition has selected books and created activities for volunteers and students to share together each session. The students get to take home the books and activities.
