Project Description: Let’s Read is one of L.A. Works’ long-time signature volunteer programs that offers tutoring in mostly reading, but also focuses on writing and other needed skills to children with limited access to educational resources.
Volunteer Role & Responsibilities: Each session strives to develop a one-on-one approach with volunteer and student to make for a more effective learning environment. Volunteers will work with students on areas that need most improvement, providing them with encouragement and clear goals for improvement. The project also incorporates a group activity to create a supportive, fun, team setting. Volunteers do not need any prior teaching experience.
