"Let's Read!" Volunteer Reading Tutors

Volunteer Reading Tutors (VRTs) are essential to the success of SAYL's "Let's Read!" program. VRTs must be at least seventeen years old and be able to commit at least one hour per week for a minimum of one school year. During this time, the volunteer works one-on-one with two students, each for thirty minutes. If VRTs are able to commit to more time each week, they are encouraged to work more than the minimum requirement of one hour. 

The first step to becoming a VRT is to sign up for a one time, two hour training session. After you sign up for a training, download and complete the Volunteer Application and bring it with you to the training. After the training, the SAYL staff will work with the site directors to process your criminal background check. Once you have cleared, the SAYL staff will call you to schedule your first tutoring session. 
If you have any additional questions about volunteering with the "Let's Read!" program please contact Mary Flannigan, Community Development Director, at (210) 299-1533.
