READING IS ‘FUN’DAMENTAL: Albuquerque Reads seeks volunteer tutors for school year

The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce sponsor the ABQ Reads program which has volunteer tutors inside the classrooms of three Albuquerque Public Schools.

Albuquerque Reads, a program of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, relies on its many volunteer tutors to help some of our youngest students gain the life-changing skills of reading and writing.

With another school year starting, ABQ Reads is again looking for new volunteers to join the ranks of this dedicated group.

Tutors volunteer in any of three of Albuquerque Public Schools’ Title I schools: Atrisco, Bel Air and Whittier elementaries. They donate 90 minutes a week, and those who prefer to join a team can volunteer just one week a month.

APS provides volunteers with training before they begin one-on-one tutoring, and it guides them throughout the school year. ABQ Reads tutor training sessions will be Sept. 4-12 but are also conducted throughout the year.

Upcoming tutor training sessions

  • Sept. 4: 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
  • Sept. 5: 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
  • Sept. 10: 12 p.m.-3 p.m.
  • Sept. 12: 12 p.m.-3 p.m.

To become a tutor (again, you can do it weekly or join a team to make it once a month), or to donate funding or appropriate grade-level books to the program, please check out ABQReads.com.
