Opportunity Details

Love kids and books? Coordinate SMART in Hillsboro (age 18+) Referral

Support children's literacy in your community and inspire a love of books and reading. Work with elementary school staff to schedule students and volunteers and to provide program oversight during reading sessions. Lead a team of committed volunteers and make a significant contribution to your local school. The SMART Site Coordinator is essential to ensuring that a SMART program is able to open at a school.

SMART is a book and reading program that engages community volunteers to help PreK-third grade children become confident readers by providing one-on-one read aloud time, valuable adult mentorship, and books to take home and keep. Programs run during school hours Monday - Friday. Time commitment is 2 – 10 hours per week, depending on elementary school assignment and your availability.

Programs run from September through mid-May. Opportunities available include running a program two days a week (4 - 8 hours per week), or working with another volunteers to co-coordinate a program (hours per week determined by the team).

Minter Bridge Elementary, 1750 SE Jacquelin Drive
