Our 2nd Birthday bash is
going to be on Nov 14th @ Valencia Library in their meeting
room. We are looking for around 5-7 volunteers to work our game
booths for the children and check in members. Also if we could
get a photography student to take the pictures for us, that

Read with Me!
The SCV Education Foundation
is seeking volunteers to work with students in local elementary
schools to improve their reading skills.
As a READ WITH ME! literacy volunteer, you will work with
students one-on-one or in small groups to assist with improving
reading skills such as word accuracy, fluency, and reading
comprehension. You may also be assisting with math, writing and
other projects. With your assistance students will improve their
reading skills and greatly benefit from receiving individualized
attention. You will have the opportunity to impact a child’s
life.
Volunteers will receive guidance that includes suggestions on
reading with children and information regarding their school.

several months, one or two days a week for at least two hours a
day.
