Reading mentoring program for 2nd, 3rd & 4th graders
César Chávez Community School
6251 Jaguar Drive, Santa Fe
TO RSVP CLICK HERE. Not required, but appreciated!
HOSTS (an acronym for Help One Student To Succeed) is a reading program for 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders. It pairs one student who needs help in reading with one volunteer who wants to make a difference in a student’s life. Each session is 30 minutes during the school day. One-on-one attention with the same student and weekly individualized lesson plans for each child are the key factors to the child’s success...and to the volunteer’s effectiveness and enjoyment. Schedules are arranged to accommodate volunteers and to establish continuing relationships with students. You can volunteer for as little as 30 minutes the same day each week -- but I'm betting once you meet the kids and see the program, you'll sign up for at least 60 or 90 minutes!
No previous experience needed; you don’t need to be a teacher; you don’t have to prepare lesson plans. You just need to love kids and the idea of helping them succeed in the most basic of life’s skills – reading!
This is community service at its best and most rewarding. It’s also so much fun! Come see the program in action. Meet Debby Maas, the HOSTS administrator, and Deb Lineback, the HOSTS assistant. Learn about the success rate of the program and how you can become part of it!
