Jubilee Park and Community Center Book Buddies
Join Jubilee Park as a tutor this fall for its brand-new reading support program, Book Buddies, focused on providing additional reading instruction to students with the greatest need.
Volunteers will spend 30 minutes once a week reading with their Book Buddy beginning September 16 and lasting until Christmas break with the option to continue tutoring in the spring. 15-30 tutors are needed for the program launch. Orientation and training dates will be made available following sign-ups.
Location
Opportunities are available at Jubilee Park and Community Center, Oran M. Roberts Elementary School, and Mount Auburn Steam Academy.
Dates and Times
Reading Support Opportunities are available in 30-minute slots from 4:30-5:30 P.M., Monday through Thursday starting September 16 ending December 20.
What to Expect:
A 30-minute commitment each week (for the fall semester) based on your best availability from Monday to Thursday (4:30-5:30 p.m.).
Not available every week? Mark that you would like to be placed on a tag team in the signup questionnaire to ensure your Book Buddy has a tutor available each week.
Want to serve more than 30 minutes? Sign up for two slots, and we will set you up with two Book Buddies. You will tutor for a full hour, 30 minutes with each student.
A 1-2 hour in-person orientation and 20 hours of online training materials on child safety and reading instruction to be completed during the first two weeks of September.
To be paired with a student at Jubilee Park, Oran M. Roberts Elementary School, or Mount Auburn Steam Academy. Location preferences will be considered when possible.
