Leaders of Literacy

What is Leaders of Literacy?

This program will do its last visit on Dec. 7th at Treeside Charter. Activities will resume in January 2022. 

Thank you for your interest in Y-Serve’s Family Literacy program! We volunteer by reading with students at local elementary schools. It’s fun! And you will play a significant role in helping the kids improve their literacy skills.

Tutoring opportunities are available in Spanish and English.

How do I get involved?

ALA : One unique opportunity is to help students who attend the American Leadership Academy in Spanish Fork. We meet each Thursday at 2:50 PM at the WILK round-about to carpool there, and we get back by 5pm. There are opportunities to help students here in English AND Spanish. Also, snacks are provided!

Text @alafamlit to 81010 to get involved!

TREESIDE: Another opportunity is to help students who attend Treeside Charter School in Provo. We meet each Tuesday at 1:50 PM at the WILK round-about to carpool there, and we get back by 3:30pm.
To join the Treeside group, volunteers must 1) commit to 10 hours of service during the semester and 2) complete a background check. You can pick up the fingerprinting authorization form and instructions at the Y-Serve Office in the WILK.

Experiences

Reading with the same students consistently allowed me to build a friendship I wouldn't have otherwise. The student I worked with motivates me and makes me excited about learning all over again as I recognize his motivation and eagerness to learn. Family Literacy is about more than just reading, but the connection found through it.
