Association Office – Social Responsibility

The Y Readers program is an intervention program designed to help students in K-3 who are reading below grade level. One of the best ways to increase reading skills is for children to have continuous practice reading. To encourage this, Y Readers is challenging its students to read 25 books from October 24-December 5. Students who meet the reading goal get the opportunity to ‘shop’ in our Reading Log Rumble store on Thursday, December 12. The Reading Log Rumble store will be a part of the Winter Celebration at Y Readers sites. The Winter Celebration is a time of fun games and activities so we need your help! As a volunteer for this event, you’ll get to: - be assigned to a classroom and help with the Winter Celebration games. - help students who meet the Reading Log Rumble goal of reading 25 books select 10 items from the Y Readers Reading Log Rumble store (all items are free to the students so there’s no money involved). - assist Y Readers staff with clean-up at the event as needed. Important: Volunteers are needed from 3:00pm - 5:00pm for all of our locations with the exception of Renaissance West STEAM Academy. The volunteer time for Renaissance West will be 3:30pm - 5:15pm. Prior to volunteers helping in the store, our site leader will lead a brief training presentation onsite. Also, many of our schools will be in the midst of car rider dismissal when you arrive, so plan accordingly.
