America Reads - Volunteer

The Weber County Library’s America Reads program relies mostly on the help of volunteers. For years we have partnered with many members of the community and the Foster Grandparent Program of Northern Utah, and in 2022 a new partnership with RSVP allowed us to expand our services.

We offer sessions at all our locations, and we conclude the America Reads program with an appreciation ceremony to honor volunteers.

As an America Reads volunteer you will:

• Tutor kids one-on-one for 30-minute, in-person reading sessions.
• Give feedback on the student’s performance to parents or guardians when needed.
• Accept all students without reservation or judgment.
• Create a safe and positive learning environment.
• Have fun!

America Reads volunteers should be:

• Willing to undergo a background check
• 18 years or older
• Fluent in English
• Able to commit to scheduled times for the duration of the eight-week program
