Literacy Volunteers needed! |
We are in need of additional literacy volunteers. These volunteers may read with the younger children in small groups, or work one on one with older kids. Lenski's dedicated literacy volunteers give the students more reading time with adults and allow our great staff to spend more time working with our kids. This is a daytime volunteer opportunity which allows for shifts of one hour once a week, every other week, or once a month... whatever time you have to spare!
If you are interested, please contact D'Arcy Dicus at dicus_da@yahoo.com or 303-437-2952. Thank you!
