The Gold Coast team is looking for Volunteers to participate in our Evidence Based, Read with Me outreach Program.
The program showcases the power of reading to children and how crucial this is for Early Literacy in children aged 3-5 years of age.
Volunteers are matched with children who attend child care facilities on the Gold Coast, to read one on one to enhance a child's ability to move confidentially into primary School.
This position is ideal for people who enjoy reading, working with children and hope to make a difference in a child's life progressing through their school years.
Schedule:
Volunteers are asked to commit 1.5 hours per week, in a long term capacity with the program running in the school terms from February – December.
We work with your availability Monday-Friday and your preferred location to volunteer
Volunteers are provided full training and resources for the program and supported throughout their volunteer journey.
