Description
We are looking for Running & Reading Club volunteers for our Fall program launches! Do you have a passion for physical activity or literacy? Do you enjoy working with children? This is for you!
Our in-person Running & Reading Club happens once a week after school at partner elementary schools. The program is targeted for students in grades 1-6 and is free of cost. The goal of the program is to increase physical activity and literacy levels amongst students to set them up for success as they graduate into middle/high school and beyond. The program is 2 hours long and includes a warm up, running workout, stretching, games, a healthy snack, word of the day and reading/journal time. The students are working towards an end of year 5km race & reading challenge that happens at the end of May/early June.
