You can play a powerful role in inspiring a love of learning in children and help find their passion: Volunteer to be a reading tutor working with a second grader at one of fifty-six public elementary schools across Montgomery County. Tutoring one hour per week can help make a second grader into an amazing reader! http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/readingnetwork Volunteer to be a writing mentor for one hour per week at one of our after school Young Writers Academies where elementary and middle school students discover the potential of the written word and unlock their gifts as skillful and passionate writers.
