Area students need you more now than ever! Lead to Read KC, Kansas City's largest literacy volunteer corps, will be in 24 schools this Fall, both in person and virtually, starting in mid-September. You can support students attending some of Kansas City’s highest need schools by serving as a reading mentor. You may register to volunteer at https://www.leadtoreadkc.org/apply/. Please email Hayley Rees at hayley@leadtoreadkc.org or me at shahnsj@aol.com with any questions. Please share with me if you enroll, so I may track our volunteer participation. Thank you! The mentoring program is designed to work around your busy schedule:
*30 minutes a week commitment to read with a student
* Partner with a friend or colleague to share a student and alternate sessions
* Become a “Flextra” and attend as often as your schedule permits to read with a student whose weekly volunteer needs to miss a session
To participate, Reading Mentors will need:
*current background check
*internet access
*a computer or tablet with video and audio capabilities
