Partners in Reading is a part of the Community Service Network and works to match undergraduate volunteer tutors with schools, ranging from elementary to high school, in the Rochester City School District.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, regardless of previous experiences!
In Partners in Reading, members can expect to work with students of all ages (K-12), get hands on experience working with children in a school environment, read books aloud to students, participate in many activities with students (arts and crafts, creative play, board games, etc), help students follow along in classroom activities, help tutor individually or in small groups, help around the classroom, have the choice of working in English- or Spanish-speaking classrooms, be a role model for young children, and of course, have fun!! :)
In addition to weekly tutoring sessions, PiR also hosts an annual Fall Fundraiser. We also host our annual College Counts event which bring RCSD students to campus for a day to promote higher education.
Partners in Reading is a very rewarding organization which allows members the opportunity to make a positive difference in the Rochester community. You can also earn community service hours through PiR.
Connect with us on Instagram @ur.pir to find out about upcoming events!
Partners in Reading is a great opportunity to positively influence the Rochester community off-campus. Join our team, and see what we're all about! We would love to have you!
