- The kids are energetic, funny, vibrant, sweet... The glow in their eyes when they finished reading a passage or drawing or writing a card was, as trite as it sounds, very rewarding. It was amazing how both children and college students valued these exchanges: sharing their personal lives with one another and forming genuine bonds... I'm not sure who enjoyed these days more.

We are a part of a national campaign calling on all Americans to help every child read at grade level. We not only tutor individual students one-on-one, but also teach small after school classes. In addition, America Reads now has Friday field trips where students visit unique cultural centers throughout New York City such as the Bronx Museum of the Arts, MoMA, and even the Wollman Rinks. Volunteer commitment of 4-10 hours/week. M-F afternoons at after-school sites & mornings as teacher's aides.
