Tutoring Opportunities

Make a big difference in the life of a child by volunteering as a tutor for one of our excellent literacy programs!

StoryPals

StoryPals is an innovative program for four and five-year olds, which uses the evidence-based dialogic reading method.  In dialogic reading, trained volunteers model reading books with questioning strategies and assist students into becoming the storytellers.
