I was a reading volunteer for Vandenberg's Elementary students for a few years. The teachers and admin staff were great to work with. The students were given time with me for individual attention to improve their reading skills. It was so rewarding. I recommend this volunteer opportunity to anyone who is looking for a rewarding experience while helping children see the joy of reading.
