Children's Literacy Network's provides a remote volunteering opportunity with our program, Virtual BookPALS. The program was designed to bring students together from different socio-economic backgrounds and build a love of reading through new friendships! We partner with schools from Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Detroit.
We are in need of volunteers who are interested in serving as weekly remote reading mentors to 2nd and 3rd grade students.
Volunteers for BookPALS serve as reading mentors to small groups of around 1-3 second graders to motivate and encourage excitement around reading on Zoom! Reading mentors work with the same students each week to encourage building a positive relationship with reading.
All books, resources and trainings are provided, all we need is you and your dedicated time!
Mentor readers read with students, share in fun reading activities, and help them build crucial literacy skills.
Current opportunities include sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30PM. Volunteers are only required to sign up for ONE weekly hour-long sessions, but can choose more if desired.
Volunteers are asked to commit to volunteering on a weekly basis for at least one semester.
