Reading Buddies

United Way volunteers will spark a love for reading, help develop literacy skills that will last a lifetime, and inspire young minds for a brighter future. Best of all, it counts for Summer Reading!

Reading Buddies volunteers share the joy of reading together in 20-minute sessions, twice per week at various branches. For more Summer Reading opportunities, check our Summer Reading page
