321 Read Volunteer Registration Form

This program is designed to support and further develop first grade students who are at-risk of struggling with literacy. Youth Link Southern Indiana pairs Reading Mentors with a first grade student at one of 14 elementary school locations throughout the county. These students will be supported for a total of 3 years. The hope is for the mentor to remain matched with the reader for the entire three year period.

Mentors are expected to:

Pass a criminal background check, review and sign off on youth protection and volunteer policies
Complete a (1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year) Reading Mentor training (approximately 1 hour each year)
Visit their student once each week for 30 minutes during the school year
Maintain journal entries to track student progress
