Volunteer Opportunities
Reading Coaches for Kids
Reading Coaches for Kids is a volunteer tutoring program designed to increase students' reading abilities and literacy skills by providing volunteers who read individually with students in area schools. Volunteers are placed in kindergarten through 5th grade classrooms for one hour a week during the regular school day. No educational background is needed; training and ongoing support are provided. The Reading Coaches program is especially looking for volunteers ages 55+ to be a part of the Retired/Senior Volunteer Program to provide intergenerational experiences for the children.
To sign up for a training session and begin appilcation please contact Eileen Metzler. Location: Volunteer Center of Brown County, 984 9th St., Green Bay. Once trained, tutoring takes place at various times during the school day, and a minimum commitment of one hour per week during the school year is preferred. Minimum age: 18.

Mentors
Make a positive impact in a student’s life just by hanging out with them during lunch hour. Big Brothers Big Sisters partners with Green Bay Area Public schools to do site-based mentor programs. This very successful program trains and prepares mentors and matches them up with an elementary aged student within various schools within the Green Bay Area Public School District. We ask for a one-year commitment from the mentors. Learn more here about Big Brothers Big Sisters.
