Mentor with Be A Reader (BeAR)

Volunteers and children read aloud once a week at elementary schools in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Beyond reading, the volunteers help students with spelling, vocabulary, and classroom reading assignments. They also provide these students with a sense of stability and become more of a mentor as the relationship progresses.  Contact Robin Ford to get involved.
