Reading Club

The goal of the Reading Club is to encourage young people to read and to experience the joy of reading, while at the same time taking on the problems associated with unsupervised youth by providing a nurturing environment with caring adult volunteers.

The program is geared for ages 6-12, and meets twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) for three ten-week sessions per year: Spring, Summer and Fall.  The volunteers work with two or three children for each 10-week session of the Reading Club.

Because the groups are small, the adults are able to get to know the children, anticipate wants and needs, and better assist the children’s enjoyment in reading books of their own choosing.
