Teen Volunteer Opportunity: Reading Buddies x Wee Write

With 826 NOLA

Have fun while volunteering with kids at the Library.

Teens in grades 8 - 12 may sign up to volunteer as a Big Reading Buddy this fall to help early readers (in grades K - 2) become more independent readers. Light dinner will be served. 

Big Reading Buddies are asked to commit to attending all 6 sessions on the following evenings:

• Monday 10/19 - Orientation (virtual, Zoom link will be sent to volunteers)
• Tuesday 10/20
• Tuesday 10/27
• Tuesday 11/3
• Tuesday 11/10
• Tuesday 11/17

This opportunity provides around 10 volunteer hours over 5 weeks. A brief phone interview and online orientation are required prior to volunteering with this program. 

In partnership with 826 New Orleans’ Early Literacy Initiative, LitUp!. Sponsored by the Library Foundation of New Orleans.
