Help Summerhill House with 5 volunteers for our Reading Program
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Reading in English is very challenging for many children. One of the ways we are working to help them is by getting volunteers to come in to read to them. iReadings take place on a Wednesday afternoon- between 2:00 pm- 4:00 pm during the school term. Volunteers are not obligated to attend for the full 2 hours.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
