Reading Buddies Volunteer Application

Welcome to Our Reading Buddies Program!

Are you a teen in Grades 9 – 12 with a passion for reading and a heart for making a difference? If so, we're thrilled to introduce you to our Reading Buddies Program!

Join us in fostering a love for reading and improving literacy skills among young learners. As a Reading Buddies volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to inspire and support children in our community while developing valuable leadership and communication skills.

Applying to volunteer does not guarantee you a spot. Selected applicants will be contacted for an interview. We keep all applications on file until June of the current school year. One application per teen is accepted. Please only apply to one location.
