You can make a difference. Join us through one or more of these opportunities:

Reading Buddy Volunteers

The program is designed to help children improve their comprehension and reading fluency, while also developing a lifelong love of reading. Volunteers are partnered one-on-one or two-on-one with a WEH member and meet every week to read aloud for one hour. Be a “Buddy” Monday–Friday between 3:30–6:30pm during the school year, and Monday–Thursday between 12:30–5:00pm during the summer months. If you are interested, please apply here.

Tutoring/Homework Support Volunteers
