Communities In Schools of Puyallup is seeking volunteers to participate in its Good Samaritan Readers tutoring program.
The program serves first, second, and third graders at Karshner, Stewart, and Sunrise elementary schools.
Students served are identified by their teachers as needing extra help with reading skills. The goal of the program is for all students to be reading at or above grade level by the end of third grade.
Volunteers are asked to commit to about one hour a week on a set schedule, which will be announced by the time school opens this fall. Tutoring sessions are generally held between 10 am and 3 pm. No special skills are needed.
If interested in volunteering during the 2012-13 school year, contact Chris Stockslager, Good Samaritan Readers program coordinator, at (253) 988-0051.
