Our friends at the Calgary Public Library need volunteers for their awesome Reading Buddies program at the Shaganappi Library!
Reading Buddies encourage children to read, offer a supportive environment to develop strong literacy skills, and most importantly, make reading fun. Bring stories to life for students in Grades 1 to 3.
Volunteer Qualifications
- Volunteers will be junior or high school students (grade 7 – grade 12)
- Volunteers will be reliable, have a positive attitude, and good literacy level
- Enjoy working with children
- Volunteers will be good role models
They are currently also looking for volunteers at the Country Hills, Bowness and Alexander Calhoun locations.
