    TEEN VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
    “Read All Together Now” is a buddy reading program that provides an opportunity for younger children to foster confidence by reading with a teen. Teens who sign up to be reading buddies will receive volunteer service hours for their time. Teen participants seeking volunteer service hours are responsible for providing any required paperwork for service verification.

    Teens interested in earning volunteer service credit can register here to be a buddy reader. By participating in the "Read All Together Now" program, teens will be available to read to registered children (ages 4-7). Teens are not expected to teach or support reading skills to younger children. They will simply be a "buddy" with which to read. Child participants may bring a book they would like to read or choose a book from those provided by the library.
    BONUS: You can also track the time spent buddy reading towards your goal in the Beanstack app.
