  • Volunteer to read with SMART® (Start Making A Reader Today) for one hour a week!


As a SMART volunteer, you’ll read one-on-one with kindergarten through third-grade students in an East Portland elementary school from NOW through mid-May.  The consistent, one-on-one time helps build literacy skills and self-confidence.  SMART is fun and further encourages children to read outside the classroom by giving students new books each month to take home and keep.

Reading times are available during the school day and hours vary, depending on the school.  There are children waiting to read with us!

For more information about volunteering with SMART, contact Ms Hathaway.
