Philly moms, looking for a rewarding way to give back and make a lasting impact on the next generation? The Philly Reading Coaches program is seeking volunteers to help students in grades K-3 build their literacy skills and confidence. This is an incredible opportunity to inspire young minds to become lifelong readers while being a positive mentor in their lives.
As a Philly Reading Coach, you'll have the chance to work with children one-on-one or in small groups, helping them improve their reading abilities. Whether you can spare just an hour a week or more, your time can make a world of difference to these students.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old, and no prior teaching experience is needed. All you need is a passion for helping children succeed and a commitment to making a difference in our community.
Ready to get involved? Visit the Philly Reading Coaches website to sign up today!
