The group is, however, short of volunteers. The program currently has 289 students enrolled, but 612 have been referred to the program because of how far they are behind with their reading levels. The organization needs 300 more volunteers to help all the kids who need it.

鈥淚f it wasn鈥檛 for volunteers, we would not be able to run our program,鈥� 成人快播 Program Director Kelly Clouser says. 鈥淎ll we鈥檙e asking is for one hour to empower or two hours to impact. We use to say one hour was enough but now we鈥檙e asking just for consistency for our students which is to have the two hours as well.鈥�

Clouser says they鈥檙e seeing the biggest results in Kindergarten through second-grade students.

鈥淣inety percent of students met their primary literacy growth goal from K-2 last year which is which is phenomenal,鈥� Clouser says. 鈥淚f we continue to see that moving forward every year we will be able to bridge that gap a little bit closer.鈥�

For those who might be nervous about the teaching aspect of the program, each lesson lays out exactly what you need to do.

鈥淚 would say just give it a try,鈥� Clouser says. 鈥淲e offer an orientation. We put them through that part of the process and then we bring them in and work with them independently and answer whatever questions they have. Everything in the curriculum is scripted. So they know exactly what they need to say and obviously, we want them to build those relationships with the students as well.鈥�

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Volunteering can be done in person or virtually. Sessions generally take place from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. If you鈥檇 like to learn more or to sign up,聽go here.
