Do you have an hour a week to read with a child?
Everybody Wins! Vermont
Description: Everybody Wins! Vermont's Power Lunch and Power Breakfast programs match adult volunteers from the community with students at local elementary schools. As a reading mentor, you meet one-to-one for about one hour a week with an elementary school student. Each week, the reading mentor has lunch, talks with and listens to the child, reads aloud with the child, and encourages the child’s interest in reading by exploring books and word games together. The reading mentor provides positive, consistent, attention weekly. Programs run from October to May.
Location: Barre City Elementary School
Requirements: Reading mentors must be at least 18 years old. All new mentors must complete an application and provide references before the mentor begins reading in the program. Volunteers then participate in a brief, 1 hours, orientation to learn more about our program and to gain insight into what they will do with their student on a weekly basis.
