Reading Buddies
Join the Reading Buddies Program!
In Reading Buddies, middle school and high school students volunteer as "Big Buddies" to mentor "Little Buddies" (grades K - 4).
Big Buddies develop responsibility and leadership skills, while Little Buddies gain literacy skills and confidence. Together, they enjoy one-on-one reading time, reading-based games, group activities, and moments of reflection—all in a fun and supportive environment.
Visit The Literacy Project or email us to sign-up for Reading Buddies. Space is limited.
