Job and Volunteer Opportunities

Book Clubs 

The summer Book Club is open to middle school students who wish to read and discuss books once a week with a volunteer mentor. There will be multiple groups based on reading level, including one for English language learners. The discussions will provide a space for students to engage with the books and develop stronger literacy skills like comprehension, prediction, and analysis. We are hosting virtual sessions during COVID, but can adjust scheduling as Eagle County updates safety status this summer. 

READING BUDDIES START DATE JUNE 10

Wednesdays 4-5 PM: 8 sessions 

We will offer a 2nd session if we have enough students enrolled and would be from 11-12, but have not determined the day.

The Literacy Project works in collaboration with the Eagle Valley Library District to pair middle school/high school students and elementary age children. The big buddy and the little buddy read together, play reading-based games and participate in group activities. In Reading Buddies, we match volunteer middle school/high school students with children in grades 1-3 for an hour of reading time once each week.

The Reading Buddies Program meets virtually for 8-week sessions during the summer break. The 1-hour program includes a group activity, one-to-one reading, reflection time and games. The purpose of Reading Buddies is to provide a leadership, responsibility, and community service opportunities with middle school/high school mentors helping to foster a love of reading in elementary school students.
