Description de l'opportunité
Want to make a difference in helping children build their reading skills? Become a Spark volunteer!
As a Foundations Learning volunteer, you provide one-to-one support to strengthen children’s reading strategies through our reading program called Spark. Spark Reading Guides attend a 3.5-hour training on reading methods and strategies, and will be provided with all resources needed throughout the program.
Volunteers are matched with 2 elementary school students and work one-on-one with each student for 30 minutes, twice per week (Monday-Friday), over 8 weeks. Spark runs four terms a year: fall, winter, spring, and summer.
Reading sessions take place at schools (with limited online options).
If you are interested in learning more, please attend our agency orientation, which is the first step to becoming a Spark volunteer, by registering here: https://foundationslearning.com/volunteer/
