Volunteer to Read for Reading to Kids
The children are divided into several small groups by grade level. Pairs of volunteers are assigned to each of these "reading club" groups. The volunteers read a pre-assigned book during a ninety-minute session, which also includes an arts and crafts project related to the book being read. At the end of the session, volunteers provide each child with a book of his or her own as a reward for attending. You can volunteer here: https://readingtokids.org/HowToHelp/HelpReaders.php
