[YEP-DC] Saturday September 6th and September 13th - Help a DC kid learn to read!

Saturday, September 6 and September 13th - Help a DC Kid Learn to Read!

Reading All-Stars is a volunteer reading program at Walker-Jones Education Campus, where 99% of students are from low-income families. This spring, we helped their students make 30% more reading gains than the rest of the school. We meet from 10am-noon each Saturday morning, and you'd be paired with a K-5 student who's 1-2 grade levels behind, helping them improve on targeted reading skills. No teaching experience is required: all you need is a commitment to closing the achievement gap. We are looking for more volunteers to keep up the momentum. 

Sign up here for one of our upcoming orientations:

Saturday, September 6th - 11am (or)

Saturday, September 13th - 11am

Walker-Jones Education Campus 

1125 New Jersey Ave., NW   

Washington, DC 20001

Metro: Mt. Vernon Square (green/yellow) or NoMA (red)

Learn more and sign up here!

In addition to reading volunteers, we are looking for program coordinators as we prepare for our Walker-Jones program kickoff this fall. Coordinators recruit and train volunteers, analyze student data, plan reading skill workshops, and work with parents, students, teachers, and principal to make the program run. Sign up for an orientation above, and stay for a half hour afterward to learn what's involved in being a coordinator.

To learn more, email co-founder Jon Elkin or WalkerJonesRAS@gmail.com.

Thanks so much for your continued commitment to kids!

Sincerely,

Jon Elkin 

Co-Founder, Reading All-Stars program
