Children's Reading Guide - Humboldt (Spark Program)
Want to make a difference in helping children build their reading skills? Become a Spark volunteer! As a Foundations Learning volunteer, you provide one-to-one support to strengthen children’s reading strategies through our reading program called Spark. Spark Reading Guides attend a 3.5-hour training on reading methods and strategies, and will be provided with all resources needed throughout the program. Volunteers are matched with 2 elementary school students and work one-on-one with each student for 30 minutes, twice per week (Monday-Friday), over 8 weeks. Spark runs four terms a year: fall, winter, spring, and summer. In-person and online volunteer opportunities are available in Saskatoon, Regina, and Humboldt. If you are based in another part of the province and would like to take part, please reach out to us at hello@foundationslearning.com. If you are interested in learning more, please attend our agency orientation, which is the first step to becoming a Spark volunteer, by registering here: https://foundationslearning.com/for-volunteers/
