Community engagement is a key component to a well-rounded education. And by volunteering at Reading High School, you will provide our students with another positive adult contact. Volunteers are needed to serve as Hallway Helpers to engage with students in a positive way Monday through Friday 9 AM - 2 PM. If you are friendly and able to engage in conversations with young people, this is the role for you. Volunteers will not be asked to engage in discipline but instead will connect in positive ways with students. You may select the day and time. Bi-lingual in English/Spanish is a plus, but not required. Click for more
