3rd Grade Reading Buddies Program

3rd Grade Reading Buddies Program

Peoria Public Schools is looking for Reading Buddies, specifically for third grade students. Third grade is an important year, both developmentally and relative to state testing. 

As an organization or business, you can adopt a classroom for your employees or members to help our students build relationships and reading skills through regular visits. Not part of a business or organization? Not a problem! Individuals are encouraged to sign up to volunteer as a Reading Buddy. 

 Please review and fill out the application found on the right side of this page!

Please complete the volunteer packet and submit to Human Resources, once you have been approved, you will be contacted to attend training.
