Subject: Volunteers to Read to a Young Student !!
Dear Students:
Once a week, members of the City Tech community walk down to PS 287 and read to an elementary school student for 40 minutes. This fun and rewarding opportunity is made possible through Read Ahead.
On Thursday (2/9) at 1pm in Namm 321, Read Ahead will be hosting an information session about their mentoring program. If you’d like to come to this meeting, send an RSVP to volunteer@readahead.org so that we can have a headcount. If you cannot make it to the meeting but still want to mentor, you can sign up at[http://%20readahead.org/volunteer] readahead.org/volunteer, watch a training video at[http://%20readahead.org/training] readahead.org/training, and Read Ahead will be in touch about next steps.
For more information, see the attached flier or visit Open Lab: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/readahead/ Thank you!

“This is my favorite perk so far. It is a great opportunity for new student to experience new ideas in the outside world, especially for those who still undecided on what their major is.”
