Books & Buddies is a reading program developed to improve literacy skills by partnering students with volunteer mentors acting as reading companions. No experience is necessary.
Books & Buddies is a minimum one-hour weekly commitment throughout the school year. We understand that absences for various reasons will occur, but as much consistency as possible is the goal. Books & Buddies Mentor Centers operate Monday - Thursday during school hours and will be located in 5 Title 1 schools throughout the valley during the 2025/2026 school year.
A one-and-a-half-hour orientation and a background check (STWN covers the cost) is required to participate in the program.
Orientation sessions are held at two location options for your convenience.
NW Las Vegas - Findlay Honda Centennial located at 7494 W. Azure Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89130 (Copy this link to sign up for an orientation at this location: https://app.donorview.com/lPX6p)
