PHILADELPHIA READS recruits and trains community volunteers to work to improve the reading and writing skills of Philadelphia’s elementary school students. At area schools and community organizations, volunteers commit one hour a week to work one-on-one with a struggling student. All volunteers must attend a training session and obtain criminal and child abuse clearances (seminarians can use the same clearances you got for LTSP). For more information on the program, please contact Sarah Galbally at (215) 851-1845.

SIGN UP for the October 10th training with Anna at (215)843-5600 ext.105, aguarneri@nim-phila.org
