Opportunities From: Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County

Building on the success of Building Better Readers, we are expanding to include older students.  Help us grow a tutoring program for middle grade struggling readers in 5th through 8th grade.  Work one-on-one or with a small group of youth once or twice per week, during or after school hours, in-person or virtually, to increase their reading skills. Volunteers will select what works best for their schedule.  Join us for an introductory training session on Thursday, September 3rd from 9:30am - 2:00pm to learn more and get started.
