2014 VPK Summer Reading Buddies
Volunteer Program
For Rising 10th, 11th, and 12th Grade Students
The VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) Summer Reading Buddies Volunteer Program will run for 6 weeks starting on June 23rdth and ending on July 31st. Our goal is to match volunteer "reading buddies” with VPK students at select sites. Volunteers will work with VPK students (4 and 5 yrs old) using myON digital reader and interactive activities.
Training, orientation, and materials will be provided. Sites are open Monday - Thursday with volunteering taking place during core hours.
Volunteers will assist for a minimum of one-hour two times a week. Additional hours may be arranged based on volunteer interest and site needs. Several site options are available throughout the district.
This is an excellent opportunity for high school students who are interested in acquiring community service hours this summer while at the same time acting as a role model for learning and making a difference in the reading experience of young children.
