The READ Association of Saginaw County is a local grassroots initiative with a simple mission: to help students improve their reading skills and discover the joy of reading. Helping children learn to read, through a positive relationship with a mentor, is one of the best investments we can make in our community to ensure every child's success. Mentoring works in helping young people succeed academically, socially and emotionally.
Volunteer mentors are needed for next fall. Interested individuals must enjoy working with children, share their love of reading and commit one hour per week to the program from October through May. Opportunities are also available for individuals to partner with another person or business associate and each person will volunteer one hour every other week. Partners will determine their monthly schedule. Each volunteer is provided with training, a mentor handbook, reading books and supplies. There are over 30 READ program centers located throughout Saginaw County.
To obtain a volunteer application by mail, please call our office at 989-755-8402 or visit www.ReadinSaginaw.org and complete an application online.
