Writing Buddies is a volunteer program offering writing sessions during the school year in local first-, second-, and third-grade classes.
Writing Buddies pairs a grownup volunteer with each student in the class.
Writing Buddies provides complete training for all volunteers!

"I can’t adequately express the joy my students experienced

I loved the organization and the entire process."
