Reading Pals Tahoe

Volunteer Application Form

School Year: 2024-2025

We are excited to pair you with students to read in South Lake Tahoe! This form is a way for us to collect your contact information and personal volunteering preferences. We are currently piloting this program at Tahoe Valley Elementary School on Tuesdays.

*Volunteers attend the same day/time each week to meet with the same students to build a life-changing relationship revolving around reading. Most volunteers opt for an hour a week, you're welcome to do more! If you're doing 1 hour a week- you'll read with 2 students, 30 minutes each.
