Our Book Buddies are BRiLLiANT!

HELPER

Volunteers give positive reinforcement to students by telling them the good things they see in them and what they hope for their Book Buddies future.

MENTOR

Being an example of good character and success can greatly impact kids and help them believe in their own potential. The students look up to our volunteers for advice in reading and in life.

BUDDY

Volunteers model safety and trust to their students because they are consistent and caring. They are a listening ear and friend to these young impressionable kids.

 You do not need to be a teacher or a tutor to be a Book Buddy- 
Just a helper, mentor and buddy!

​ If you can read at a 6th grade reading level, you can be a big help to these kids! The small group setting allows the kids to feel special because they rarely get this kind of focused attention in their large oversized classrooms. Some may not even have the privilege of getting to read at home with their families. Meeting with Book Buddies can help these kids feel less intimidated to practice reading out loud because of the smaller group setting and the casual low pressured environment. (Sometimes they even get a special modern room designed just for them, too!) All you need to do is encourage them while they read and eat lunch together once a week. Simple and easy, yet so powerful! 

HOW IT WORKS - Our 3 Step Application Process
⭐️Fill out an application online. 
⭐️Watch a short training video and read along with the handbook.
⭐️Pass a background check with the district you have chosen.
​
Volunteers will choose which group option at an Elementary School in need! They will meet with the same 3 students for the duration of the school year during lunch on a day of their choice. Some people may be on leave for the military or exempt for other important endeavors and can volunteer for part of the year but we encourage commitment for the whole school year. 

We are always adding to our list but OUR CURRENT PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE SCHOOLS FROM :Putnam City, Mid-Del, Western Heights, Santa Fe South, Yukon, Millwood, Moore and Edmond districts!
