Readers & Best, a collaborative initiative between Student Life’s Ginsberg Center and the Athletic Department, provides the opportunity for the UM campus to come together and share the joy of reading with local elementary-aged children. We provide the monthly curriculum for each visit, which includes a book and activity specific to the grade level of the classroom. The general Readers & Best visit requires a 3 hour time block from student volunteers. This includes the brief orientation, travel and the time at the school.
Participants can sign-up for one or more Friday afternoons. The Ginsberg Center will provide preparation and training, travel, support classroom engagement, and post-engagement reflection.
Volunteers are welcome to sign up in a group of up to 6.
