United Way of Passaic County is expanding our Reading Buddies program, and we’re looking for passionate volunteers to join us in making a lasting impact!
Reading by 3rd grade is a critical milestone—but too many kids are falling behind. As a Reading Buddy, you’ll work one-on-one or in small groups with K–3rd grade students during the school day (Monday–Friday, 9AM–2PM), from October-June, helping them build skills, grow their confidence, and spark a love of reading that can change their future.
No teaching experience? No problem! We provide full training and support to set you up for success. All volunteers must complete a background check and fingerprinting prior to being matched with students.
