Sign up today to volunteer for one hour each week reading aloud to little kids!
More than half of all kindergartners in our state are entering school without the social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills they need to be successful. Research shows that those who start behind often stay behind. We’re looking for friendly, dependable people to read with young kids one-on-one (not group reading) at select preschools, Head Start classrooms, and child care centers throughout King County, INCLUDING WEST SEATTLE. Reading to kids helps ensure they are ready to succeed and thrive when they enter kindergarten. All sites and shift times are listed on our website.
Visit http://www.uwkc.org/readers and click the “register today” link at the bottom of our webpage to get involved. All opportunities are between 8am-5pm Monday to Friday. We ask for a 6-month weekly commitment.
Together we can create positive, lasting change in our community. We look forward to hearing from you!
