Reading Coaches

Volunteers are at the core of how we serve kids in Phoenix Family's after-school program (HIKE).

Our greatest need for volunteers is for folks to help kids increase their literacy skills. You don't need to be an expert teacher. You do need a deep belief in the kids we serve and an eagerness to learn together.

Volunteers will work one-on-one with kids in grades K-8 who are struggling with reading. We'll provide all the training and support you need. We prepare the lesson plan and activities; you come and build confidence, encourage, and have fun!

Shifts are available Monday-Thursday from 4:30-5:15 PM and/or 5:15-6:00 PM.

Steps to volunteering:

1. Complete your volunteer application. It only takes a couple of minutes!
2. Attend an orientation. Our orientation will cover all the information you need to get started. Once you complete your application, our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to schedule an orientation.
3. Complete a background screening. We'll send you the information after the orientation.
4. Sign up for shifts! We can't wait to see you in our programs soon! Start browsing the calendar here to get a preview now: https://sforce.co/3CiWLxn.
