Volunteering

OUR Mission is to foster literacy and improve reading skills through positive reading experiences.
We hope that each volunteer shares the goals and mission of ROW and helps carry them out.

Caring 

Volunteers will exhibit a caring, thoughtful, respectful and kind approach when working with their ROW reader.

Respect 

All participants in the ROW program will treat one another with respect and kindness and will be open to hearing and expressing opinions, ideas and concerns. Volunteers will acknowledge and respect each child’s current reading skill level. Based on this, appropriate books will be provided which will encourage success and confidence in reading. Volunteers will respect the confidentiality of each ROW reader’s personal information.

Commitment 

We ask volunteers to come once a week at your scheduled time. Occasionally, arrangements can be made to come at an alternative time if needed. Your reader looks forward to meeting with you and consistency is important.

FUN! 

ROW sessions with your reader should be fun and a way to share the joy in reading.

 

We ask that volunteers commit to meeting with their student once a week for the entire school year. 

Students get very excited to see their volunteer and eagerly anticipate their arrival.
