Do you love to read? Do you want to share your love of reading with a child?
Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County is looking to partner with Hudson Valley Community College on an initiative to increase children’s prospects for success in school and beyond.
The Everybody Wins Power Lunch program allows children from Carroll Hill Elementary and Sacred Heart School to be selected as “reading buddies” for Hudson Valley employee volunteers. Your commitment is just 30 minutes per week for the school year to make a difference in the life of a child. Not sure if you can make a weekly commitment? Then sign up with one or two of your colleagues and share the reading time.
Interested?
Literacy Volunteers staff will be on campus at the following times to provide information sessions on this program:
Today, Sept. 14 from 1 to 2 p.m., CTR 150
Thursday, Sept. 22 from noon to 1 p.m., CTR 150
Please attend one of these sessions to learn more about helping local children get a better start on their future.
