United Way of Acadiana is seeking
volunteers to provide extra reading practice for local elementary school
students for the 2015-16 school year. Research shows that students who aren’t
reading at grade level by the fourth grade are four times more likely to not
graduate on time. United Way Reader volunteers are paired with first- and
second-grade students who are at risk for falling behind. Training
opportunities are provided for volunteers. Trainings to become a United Way
Reader will be held at the following times and locations:
